Special Products in Algebra: Definitions & Examples

This document discusses special products involving binomial and trinomial squaring. It explains that the square of a binomial consists of the square of the first term, twice the product of the first and last terms, and the square of the last term. The square of a trinomial consists of the sum of the squares of the first, second, and last terms, and twice the product of each unique pair of terms. Examples are provided to illustrate squaring binomials and trinomials using these patterns rather than FOIL.

(BINOMIAL AND TRINOMIAL SQUARING)

There are special products of algebraic expression whose


products are readily seen. These are called special products .
Algebraic expression is an expression which consists of two or
more terms with variables and constant which is separated byan
operations (subtraction or addition) . It could be a monomial,
binomial, and a polynomial. There are certain conditions which
would make a polynomial special.

First the square of a binomial is


expressed as (x + y)2 or (x +y) (x + y). In our
previous grade , we did this by using or
applying the FOILMETHOD. Second the
square of a trinomial , this can be can be
done like the square of a binomial but more
core complicated.
There are easier way of
finding the desired
product.

The square of
the first term. Observe the examples: Perfect
1.)(x-3)2 = x2 -2(3x) +9 Square
Twice the product Trinomial
of the first term = x2 -6x +9
and the last term
; and
2.)(3x-4y)2
The square of the (3x-4y)2 = 9x2 + 2(12xy) +16y2
last term. = 9x2 +24xy +16y2

The square of trinomials consist of:


A. The sum of the squares of the first, second and the last terms;
B. Twice the product of the first and the second terms;
C. Twice the product of the first and the last terms; and
D. Twice the product of the second and the last terms.

The sum of the squares of the first, second and the last terms;
Twice the product of the first and the second terms;
Twice the product of the first and the last terms; and
Twice the product of the second and the last terms.
Observe the examples:
1.) (x + y +z)2 = (x)2 + (y)2 + (z)2 +2 (x)y +2(x)z +2 (y)z
= x 2+y2 + z 2+2xy +2xz +2yz
2. (3a + 3b + c)2

(3a + 3b + c)2 = (3a)2 + (3b)2 + (c)2 + 2(3a) (3b) + 2(3a) (c) + 2 (3b) (c)
= 9a2 +9b2 +c2 +18ab +6ac+6bc
The product of the sum and difference of two terms is
the difference of the squares of the term.
( a + b ) ( a – b ) = a² - b²
Observe the examples:

1. (a + 2) (a – 2) = a² - 4
2. (9 + b²) (9 - b²)
(9 + b²) (9 - b²) = 81 - b⁴
EVALUATION
Directions : Solve each item carefully. Use the following
patterns to answer.

1.) (a -8)2
2.) (x +5) (x -5)
3.) (3a – 2b + 4c)2
