Some people like to find patterns in the world around them, like a game. There are some polynomials that, when factored, follow a specific pattern.
These include:
Perfect square trinomials of the form: a2+2ab+b2
A difference of squares: a2−b2
A sum of cubes: a3+b3
A difference of cubes: a3−b3
In this lesson you will see you can factor each of these types of polynomials following a specific pattern. You will also learn how to factor polynomials that have negative or fractional exponents.
