36x2=72
The difference of two squares is quick way to factor polynomials when certain constraints are met: Namely that you have two squares (e.g. 4, 25, 36x2 , 144a6) and one is subtracting from the others (e.g. 25 - 36x2). IF these two constraints are met, then you are able to factor the polynomial by finding the square roots of the squares. sqrt(25)=5 sqrt(36x2) = 6x Therefore 25 - 36x2 = (5+6x)(5-6x) in factored form. In general, given any two squares, a2 and b2, AND they are subtracting, a2 - b2, you can factor them to be (a + b)(a - b).

A quadratic variable expression. If you're looking for the factorization, it would be (x-9)(x+2).
