Lesson 5: Factoring using structureIdentifying quadratic patterns
Factoring using structure involves recognizing patterns in expressions, like the difference of squares or perfect square trinomials, and using these patterns to break down complex expressions into simpler ones. As an example, you’ll determine whether the polynomial 9x⁸+6x⁴y+y² can be factored using the perfect square pattern or the difference of squares pattern (or neither).
