Perfect Squares and Factoring

The task is simple, but the solution is a little more complex. Learners must find the smallest number that results in a perfect square when multiplied by two and a perfect cube when multiplied by three. The task requires an analysis of...

In this algebra worksheet, learners factor expressions into the product of two binomials. Four of the problems involve factoring perfect square trinomials. The remaining eight problems require students to factor problems that are the...

Introduce young mathematicians to the concept of factoring trinomials with perfect squares. This descriptive video provides a meaningful explanation of the factoring process. Each step is carefully written out in various colors during...

What makes an integer a perfect square? Want to know the answer? Do the numbers 4, 9, 16, 25, and 36 mean anything? Is the light bulb glowing bright? Yes, anytime you square an integer, the value is a perfect square. That makes sense!

What is the relationship between squaring a number and taking the square root of a number? The instructor in the video explains the relationship of perfect square and its square root integer.

It's not really a shortcut but an equivalent equation. That's how these two perfect square equations work. So when you see an expression written out and it fits the perfect square of a trinomial criteria it can be rewritten in the...

What are the characteristics of a polynomial that would make it factorable by the difference of squares rule? There are four must haves: two terms, coefficients are perfect squares, minus sign, degree of each term is even or zero. If it...

Find the square root of a number that is not a perfect square, without using a calculator. In this video, the instructor will show how to estimate to get the approximate value of the square root of a number that is not a perfect square....

Multiply a number by itself and that is squaring a number. Simple as that, and, if it's an integer you have a perfect square.
