For a difference of squares, \"a%5E2-b%5E2=%28a%2Bb%29%28a-b%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "So \"a%2Bb\" and \"a-b\" are factors.
\n" ); document.write( "So in this case,
\n" ); document.write( "\"a=2\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=x%2By\"
\n" ); document.write( "So the factors would be,
\n" ); document.write( "\"a%2Bb=2%2Bx%2By\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"a-b=2-x-y\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
