Question 830834: Factor the expression x^2+16x+64−y^2. Simplify your answer as much as possible, but do not combine like factors. I tried completing the square and came up with this (x+8)^2 (x+y)(x-y)but it wasn't correct. Any help would be great thanks!Oh also it has to be in ( ) ( ) form Found 2 solutions by stanbon, lwsshak3:Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Factor the expression x^2+16x+64−y^2.
Simplify your answer as much as possible,
------------
= (x+8)^2 - y^2
--------
= (x+8-y)(x+8+y)
---------
= (x-y+8)(x+y+8)
