Other Ways to Solve
Simplification or other simple resultsStep by Step Solution
Step 1 :
Equation at the end of step 1 :
(22x213 • x) - 12Step 2 :
Step 3 :
Pulling out like terms :
3.1 Pull out like factors :
4x214 - 12 = 4 • (x214 - 3)
Trying to factor as a Difference of Squares :
3.2 Factoring: x214 - 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 :
4 • (x214 - 3)
