Depends on the kind of binomials.
Case 1:
If both binomials have different terms, then use the distribution property. Each term of one binomial will multiply both terms of the other binomial. After distribution, combine like terms, and it's done.
Case 2:
If both binomials have exactly the same terms, then work as in the 1st case, or use the formula for suaring a binomial, (a ± b)2 = a2 ± 2ab + b2.
Case 3:
If both binomials have terms that only differ in sign, then work as in the 1st case, or use the formula for the sum and the difference of the two terms, (a - b)(a + b) = a2 - b2.

Definition of sum of two cubes?
a3 + b3
What is the sum and difference of two cubes?
a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2) a3 - b3 = (a - b)(a2 + ab + b2)
What is the sum two cubes equation?
a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 - ab + b2)
How many terms does the product of the sum and difference of two terms have?
7 terms
If a polynomial is the difference of two squares?
No, a polynomial is the sum of any two monomials, i.e., any two terms, for example, a + b, a - b, a2 + b2, x2y -3, etc. ("Sum" may include negative terms.)No, a polynomial is the sum of any two monomials, i.e., any two terms, for example, a + b, a - b, a2 + b2, x2y -3, etc. ("Sum" may include negative terms.)No, a polynomial is the sum of any two monomials, i.e., any two terms, for example, a + b, a - b, a2 + b2, x2y -3, etc. ("Sum" may include negative terms.)No, a polynomial is the sum of any two monomials, i.e., any two terms, for example, a + b, a - b, a2 + b2, x2y -3, etc. ("Sum" may include negative terms.)
