How do you factorize these two questions: X - y - x ^2+ y^2X−y−x2+y2 and x^3 - 36 xx3−36x? Algebra Polynomials and Factoring Factorization of Quadratic Expressions 1 Answer MeneerNask Mar 19, 2015 Watch the plusses and minuses! x-y-x^2+y^2x−y−x2+y2 =x-y-(x^2-y^2)=x−y−(x2−y2) =(x-y)-(x+y)(x-y)=(x−y)−(x+y)(x−y) =(1-x-y)(x-y)=(1−x−y)(x−y) x^3-36xx3−36x =x(x^2-36)=x(x2−36) =x(x-6)(x+6)=x(x−6)(x+6) Answer link Related questions How do you factor trinomials?
