Here are a few recommended readings before getting started with this lesson.
Calculate the area of a square with side lengths x+2 feet. Then, calculate the area of a square with side lengths x−1 feet. Finally, find the difference between these areas.
(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2
\CommutativePropMult
Calculate power
Multiply
The area of a square is calculated by squaring its side length.
(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2
(ab)m=ambm
(am)n=am⋅n
Multiply
The product of two conjugate binomials is the difference of two squares.
(a+b)(a−b)=a2−b2
Distribute (a−b)
Distribute a
Distribute b
\CommutativePropMult
Add terms
The area of a square is calculated by squaring its side length. The area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying the length by the width.
(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2
(ab)m=ambm
(am)n=am⋅n
Multiply
am⋅an=am+n
(a−b)2=a2−2ab+b2
(am)n=am⋅n
\CommutativePropMult
Multiply
a⋅am=a1+m
(ab)m=ambm
\IdPropMult
(a+b)(a−b)=a2−b2
(ab)m=ambm
(am)n=am⋅n
1a=1
State the degree and the leading coefficient of the resulting polynomial after squaring the binomial or multiplying the conjugate binomials.
LHS⋅(a+b)=RHS⋅(a+b)
\CommutativePropMult
a⋅am=a1+m
Substitute expressions
a(-b)=-a⋅b
(-a)3=-a3
a+(-b)=a−b
(-a)2=a2
