The difference of two squares is the
product of sum and difference of two
terms. It can be written as; , where a
and b are real numbers, variables or
algebraic expressions and are both
perfect squares.

How to factor polynomials with difference of
two squares?
EXAMPLE 1: Factor : 9
STEP 1: Identify or the first and second term.
STEP 2: Find the value of the first and the
second term by getting the square root of each.

TIPS
• Always check if the expression you are factoring
is a difference of two squares.
KEY POINTS
An expression is a difference of two squares if
the first and second terms are perfect squares,
subtracted from each other.
