How do you factor 1-(x-y)^21−(x−y)2? Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Factor Polynomials Using Special Products 1 Answer Deepak G. Aug 8, 2016 =(1-x+y)(1+x-y)=(1−x+y)(1+x−y) Explanation: Since a^2-b^2a2−b2 (a-b)(a+b)(a−b)(a+b) 1-(x-y)^21−(x−y)2 =1^2-(x-y)^2=12−(x−y)2 =(1-(x-y))(1+(x-y))=(1−(x−y))(1+(x−y)) =(1-x+y)(1+x-y)=(1−x+y)(1+x−y) Answer link Related questions How do you factor special products of polynomials?
