A trinomial is a perfect square if:
• The first and last terms are perfect squares.
• The middle term is two times one factor
from the first term and one factor from
the last term.

In Chapter 7 you learned that the difference of two
squares has the form a2 – b2. The difference of two
squares can be written as the product (a + b)(a – b).
You can use this pattern to factor some polynomials.
A polynomial is a difference of two squares if:
•There are two terms, one subtracted from the
other.
• Both terms are perfect squares.

Recognize a difference of two squares: the
coefficients of variable terms are perfect squares,
powers on variable terms are even, and
constants are perfect squares.
