    Study Notes

    Perfect Squares and Monomials

    • Perfect square monomials include: 1, 49x², and 81x⁶.
    • Expressions like 121;11, 4x²;2x, and 49x⁴;7x² represent perfect squares and their square roots.

    Difference of Squares

    • For x² - 25, the binomial factors are (x - 5)(x + 5).
    • The equation 9x² - 16 factors to (3x - 4)(3x + 4).
      • Value of ac = -144
      • Value of b = 0
      • Numbers that multiply to ac and add to b are -12 and 12.
    • 36x² - 25 factors to (6x - 5)(6x + 5).
    • The expression 49b² - 81 factors to (7b - 9)(7b + 9).
    • The factors of x² - 144 are (x - 12)(x + 12).
    • 121b⁴ - 49 factors to (11b² + 7)(11b² - 7).

    Factorization Techniques

    • Use a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b) for factoring difference of squares.
    • For 36x⁸ - 49, the factors are (6x⁴ - 7)(6x⁴ + 7).
    • Factor 4x² - 9 as (2x - 3)(2x + 3).

    Expressions and Areas

    • Area of a square can be expressed as x¹⁰; its side length is x⁵.
    • Remaining area after removing a corner with area 16 cm² from a square area of 9x² is represented by (3x - 4)(3x + 4).

    Equations and Simplifications

    • The expression equivalent to 100n² - 1 is (10n)² - (1)².
    • 36x² - 25 can be simplified to (6x)² - (5)².
    • To simplify 25x⁴ - 64, three equivalent expressions include:
      • 25x⁴ + 40x - 40x - 64
      • 25x⁴ + 13x - 13x - 64
      • (5x² + 8)(5x² - 8).

    Other Key Points

    • Perfect square corresponding to the root 3x⁴ is 9x⁸.
    • The square root of r⁶⁴ is r⁸.
    • Factorization for x² - 100 yields (x - 10)(x + 10).
