...less than the sum of their squares by twice their product. (See Art. 28, Example 2.) 31. THEOREM III. The product of the sum and difference of two quantities is equal to the difference of their squares. (See Art. 28, Example 3.) NOTE. The above theorems are very important, and should be committed to memory.... | |

...square of the second. 18. Multiply a+b by a — b. The product is a2 — b2 ; whence we find, that the product of the sum, and difference of -two quantities, is equal to the difference of their squares. These results it is important to retain, as they are of frequent application. Homogeneous terms, are... | |

...examples afford results which should be firmly fixed in the memory. From the 1st of these we see that " The product of the sum and difference of two quantities, is equal to the difference of the squares of those quantities." From the 2nd of these we see that "The square of the sum of two quantities,... | |

...or a+^b, are called binomial surds, and may be reduced to rational quantities on the principle that the product of the sum and difference of two quantities...is equal to the difference of their squares. Thus the binomial surd Multiplied by - —Vab+b Gives a +5, a rational quantity. 312. Trinomial surds may... | |

...2a— 3J. Ans. 4a3-— 9J3. Multiply 3y — c by 3y-\-c. Ans. Qy3 — c3. Thus, by inspection we find, the product of the sum and difference of two quantities is equal to the difference of their squares. The propositions included in this article are proved also in geometry. (Art. 14 ) We can sometimes... | |

...extended to quadrinomials — See Euc. П., 4, and Exs. 57, 59, Art. 26. Again, from Ex. 5 we see that the product of the sum and difference of two quantities is equal to the difference of their squares ; and conversely, that the difference of the squares of two quantities is equal to the product of the... | |

...THEOREMS. 34. The following theorems ought to be committed to memory. (a+b) x (ai) = aO-62. That is, the product of the sum and difference of two quantities...is equal to the difference of their squares. Thus we have, (2x + 3a) x (2x-3a) = 4x* — 9a2. And so on to other cases. 35.
