READ AND OBSERVE Lance and John, both Grade 8 students, found themselves in a heated argument over an issue about factoring difference two squares. Their debate soon caught the attention of their teacher, Ms. Mae. To solve the issue effectively, Ms. Mae decided to listen to each student’s explanation. The teacher looked at the solutions presented by the two students as shown below.
QUESTIONS 1.What is the issue being argued about by Lance and John? 2. How did Ms. Mae handle the arguments? 3. If you were Ms. Mae, how are you going to resolve the conflict?
Complete the table by following the steps of factoring polynomials by difference of two squares. Steps Solution Given: 4x 2 – 49 Step 1: Express the first and the second terms in exponential form with a power of 2. Step 2: Transform into exponential form following the pattern Step 3: Factor completely following the pattern = (a-b) (a+b) Steps Solution Given: 4x 2 – 49 Step 1: Express the first and the second terms in exponential form with a power of 2.
