Factor:
\n" ); document.write( "\"98a%5E4-72b%5E2\" First, factor 2.
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2849a%5E4-36b%5E2%29\" Now for some creative factoring:
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%28%287a%5E2%29%5E2-%286b%29%5E2%29\" Now we have the difference of two squares in the parentheses and the difference of two squares is factorable thus:
\n" ); document.write( "\"A%5E2-B%5E2+=+%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29\" so we can apply this to your problem by letting \"A+=+7a%5E2\" and \"B+=+6b\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
