Special Products of Binomials

Objective: To be able to apply your understanding of multiplying binomials to special cases of

• sum & difference of binomials

• and a perfect square binomial

Today's lesson focuses on starting to bring the concepts of factoring we have been learning in class together. We've looked at

• multiplying two binomials together by distribution, FOIL, and the table method,

• factoring out a monimal from a trinomial, and

• calculting the sum and difference of polynomials

The equations and examples below are fantastics to have in your back pocket throughout the lesson. We'll be going over how they work and how to use them.

Skill 2: The Product of a Sum and Difference

The proudct of the suma and difference of the same two terms also produces a pattern.
