Factor:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"18t%5E2-128\"$ First, factor a 2.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%289t%5E2-64%29\"$ Now you can see that the paretheses contain the difference of two squares ( $\"%283t%29%5E2-%288%29%5E2\"$ ) which is factored like this:
\n" ); document.write( " $\"A%5E2-B%5E2+=+%28A%2BB%29%28A-B%29\"$ , so...
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2%289t%5E2-64%29+=+2%283t%2B8%29%283t-8%29\"$ \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
