Solution - Simplification or other simple results

Step  1  :

Equation at the end of step  1  :

  ((3 • (a2)) +  1) -  (4 +  2a2)
 Step  2  :

Equation at the end of step  2  :

  (3a2 +  1) -  (2a2 + 4)

Step  3  :

Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :

 3.1      Factoring:  a²-3 

Theory : A difference of two perfect squares,  A² - B²  can be factored into  (A+B) • (A-B)

Proof :  (A+B) • (A-B) =
         A² - AB + BA - B² =
         A² - AB + AB - B² =
         A² - B²

Note :  AB = BA is the commutative property of multiplication.

Note :  - AB + AB equals zero and is therefore eliminated from the expression.

Check : 3 is not a square !!

Ruling : Binomial can not be factored as the difference of two perfect squares.

Final result :

  a2 - 3
