aX^2 - bY^2 is the same as (aX + bY)(aX - bY)

Therefore, 4X^2 - Y^2 = ( )( )
 
Re: Two Perfect Squares

I still dont understand what you mean by 4x^2-y^2=()()

4x[sup:6vkofysb]2[/sup:6vkofysb] - 25 = (2x)[sup:6vkofysb]2[/sup:6vkofysb] - 5[sup:6vkofysb]2[/sup:6vkofysb]

Now, use a[sup:6vkofysb]2[/sup:6vkofysb] - b[sup:6vkofysb]2[/sup:6vkofysb] = (a + b)(a - b)
