A common error when squaring a binomial is to forget the middle term of the product. In general, When Squaring Binomials… Remember:
EXAMPLE 1 • Find (x + 4)2. Solution:
EXAMPLE 2 • Square each binomial and simplify. Solution:
Find the product of the sum and difference of two terms. • In binomial products of the form (x + y)(x− y), one binomial is the sum of two terms and the other is the difference of the same two terms. Consider (x + 2)(x− 2). Thus, the product of x + y and x −y is the difference of two squares. CONJUGATE PAIRS
