Do you want to factor? If so, then simply use the difference of squares:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"a%5E2-4=%28a%29%5E2-%282%29%5E2=%28a%2B2%29%28a-2%29\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So \"a%5E2-4=%28a%2B2%29%28a-2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
