You can put this solution on YOUR website!
factor completely s^2-64 and the other says v^2-1/49
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "First one:
\n" ); document.write( "s^2-64
\n" ); document.write( "Notice I can rewrite as:
\n" ); document.write( "s^2-8^2
\n" ); document.write( "Now, you have a \"difference of squares\" -- which should automatically trigger:
\n" ); document.write( "(s-8)(s+8) (this is completely factored)
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Second one:
\n" ); document.write( "Similar to the first:
\n" ); document.write( "v^2-1/49
\n" ); document.write( "Can be rewritten as:
\n" ); document.write( "v^2-(1/7)^2
\n" ); document.write( "Now, you have a \"difference of squares\" -- which should automatically trigger:
\n" ); document.write( "(v-1/7)(v+1/7) (this is completely factored)
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
