Keywords

πŸ’‘Difference of Two Squares

The 'Difference of Two Squares' is a mathematical concept where two squared numbers are subtracted from each other, resulting in an expression like a^2 - b^2. This concept is key in factoring such expressions, as they can be rewritten as (a + b)(a - b). In the video, the teacher explains how to factor expressions like x^2 - 16 and 9x^2 - 25 using this method.

πŸ’‘Square Number

A 'Square Number' is a number that results from multiplying an integer by itself, such as 1, 4, 9, 16, etc. These numbers are essential in the lesson because both terms in a 'Difference of Two Squares' must be square numbers. The teacher lists several square numbers, emphasizing the importance of recognizing them for factoring.

πŸ’‘Square Root

The 'Square Root' of a number is the value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. For example, the square root of 81 is 9 because 9 x 9 equals 81. In the context of the video, understanding square roots is crucial for correctly factoring expressions like x^2 - 16.

πŸ’‘Factoring

'Factoring' is the process of breaking down an expression into simpler terms (factors) that, when multiplied together, produce the original expression. The lesson focuses on factoring the difference of two squares, turning expressions like x^2 - 16 into (x + 4)(x - 4).

πŸ’‘X Squared (x^2)

'X Squared' refers to the variable x multiplied by itself (x * x), which is a common term in quadratic expressions. The video demonstrates how to factor expressions where the first term is x^2, as in x^2 - 16, by finding the square root of x^2, which is x.

πŸ’‘16

In the video, '16' is used as a square number, specifically 4 squared (4 x 4). The teacher explains how to factor the expression x^2 - 16 by recognizing that 16 is a square number and finding its square root, 4, to form the factors (x + 4)(x - 4).

πŸ’‘25

'25' is another square number mentioned in the video, specifically 5 squared (5 x 5). The teacher uses this example to factor the expression 9x^2 - 25, showing that recognizing 25 as a square number is essential for applying the difference of two squares method.

πŸ’‘9x^2

'9x^2' is an expression where 9 is a square number (3 x 3) and x^2 is the square of the variable x. The teacher factors this term by first finding the square root of 9x^2, which is 3x, and then using it to factor the expression 9x^2 - 25.

πŸ’‘Plus and Minus

The terms 'Plus' and 'Minus' are used in the video to describe the signs in the factors that result from the difference of two squares. For example, when factoring x^2 - 16, the result is (x + 4)(x - 4), where one factor has a plus sign and the other a minus sign.

πŸ’‘Parentheses

In the context of the video, 'Parentheses' are used to group terms during the factoring process. The teacher explains that after identifying the square roots of each term in a difference of two squares, they are placed inside parentheses with plus and minus signs to complete the factoring, such as (x + 4)(x - 4).

hello math wizards this is teacher Mel

play00:08

and let us explore the world of math for

play00:14

today's lesson we focus and difference

play00:17

of two squares so how do we really

play00:22

factor difference of to spare or how do

play00:25

we factor now by difference of to spare

play00:28

before that let us familiarize first our

play00:33

job with the squared number one Wahhabi

play00:36

mass squared number one for two squared

play00:39

we have four and so on we have 9 16 25

play00:43

36 49 64 and 81 meaning if we multiply

play00:50

nine to itself which is night

play00:52

the result is 81 and if we're going to

play00:55

find the square root of 81

play00:57

the result is nine we'll get the square

play01:00

root of 64 the answer is 8 square root

play01:02

of 49 is 7 and so on

play01:06

we need to familiarize ourselves with

play01:09

the squared number let's have our first

play01:14

example factor of difference of two

play01:18

squares so we have factor x squared

play01:22

minus 16 final not in my lamina we are

play01:26

going to use the formula or we are going

play01:30

to factor of difference of two square

play01:32

that pad your first term nothing is a

play01:34

squared number and means second term

play01:37

nothing is a squared number also we

play01:41

write it first all right

play01:44

Unum step is Malagueta Amendola one

play01:46

parenthesis but we put plus and minus of

play01:52

the middle of it

play01:54

contrition lewdness step we need to get

play01:58

the square root of x squared so I know

play02:01

you X square well I mean nu square root

play02:04

non-expert what I'm trying to say is I

play02:07

knew your variables now when we

play02:09

multiplied together to itself the result

play02:12

is x squared

play02:14

correct that is X I say X times X is

play02:19

equal to x squared and that would be our

play02:23

first term okay so your first term not a

play02:27

nice X's so we put it on the parenthesis

play02:29

we have X and then X also on the other

play02:33

side bungalow one step we need to get

play02:40

the square root of 16 and use square

play02:46

root and 16

play02:48

so Campina beside the new young squared

play02:50

number must be easily identified the

play02:53

square root of 16 meaning a new number

play02:56

now we multiply it together with itself

play02:59

the result is 16 tamo

play03:02

i'm Sagat I pour so the square root of

play03:06

16 I 4 so we write it on the last term

play03:12

we have plus 4 and we have minus 4

play03:20

therefore if you are going to factor x

play03:23

squared minus 16 the result is X plus 4

play03:27

and X minus 4 factor 9x squared minus 25

play03:38

Pera not in Molalla man if it's a

play03:41

difference of two squares some become a

play03:43

play03:52

square number but the Limu sharma

play03:55

identify if it's a difference of two

play03:57

squares we write it first I know you

play04:00

Unum step not a McClellan gate I own and

play04:03

Ella one parentheses and then Marin plus

play04:06

and minus at the center of it Pamela one

play04:10

step next is we get the square root of 9

play04:16

X rayed so unhuman square root 9 x

play04:19

squared tamo

play04:22

i'm Sagat i pre x so um 3 X now then

play04:26

that

play04:26

be our first term next I took Kulina man

play04:31

atheneum square-root non second term

play04:34

which is 25 so NAU square root than 25

play04:38

correct the answer is 5 so we write it

play04:43

as the last term not n therefore if we

play04:51

are going to factor 9x squared minus 25

play04:55

the result is 3x plus 5 multiplied to 3x

play05:00

minus 5

play05:04

thank you everyone

play05:06

if you have any question please don't

play05:09

hesitate to comment below and I'm happy
