Factor:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"u%5E2-v%5E2-2u-2v\"$ Group the terms as shown:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28%28u%5E2-v%5E2%29%29-highlight%28%282u%2B2v%29%29\"$ Factor the first binomial and factor 2 from the second binomial:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28%28u%2Bv%29%28u-v%29%29-highlight%282%28u%2Bv%29%29\"$ Now you can factor the common factor of $\"%28u%2Bv%29\"$ to leave you with:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"highlight%28%28u%2Bv%29%28%28u-v%29-2%29%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "
