\r\n\r\nSome people like to find patterns in the world around them, like a game. There are some polynomials that, when factored, follow a specific pattern.\r\n\r\nThese include:\r\n\r\nPerfect square trinomials of the form:\u00a0[latex]{a}^{2}+2ab+{b}^{2}[\/latex]\r\n\r\nA difference of squares:\u00a0[latex]{a}^{2}-{b}^{2}[\/latex]\r\n\r\nA sum of cubes:\u00a0[latex]{a}^{3}+{b}^{3}[\/latex]\r\n\r\nA difference of cubes:\u00a0[latex]{a}^{3}-{b}^{3}[\/latex]\r\n\r\nIn this lesson you will see\u00a0you can factor each of these types of polynomials following a specific pattern. You will also learn how to factor polynomials that have negative or fractional exponents.","rendered":"
