Find the factors completely for
Solution:
Consider the given equation above
Take out their common factor, we have
Since the two grouped terms are the difference of two squares, then we need to factor the two grouped terms as follows
Therefore, the factors are

Find the factors for
Solution:
Consider the given equation above
The first and the last terms are both perfect squares. The middle term is twice the product of the square roots of first and last terms. Let's check the middle term as follows
Since the middle term is exactly the same as the computation above, then the given trinomial is a perfect trinomial square. If the middle term is negative, then the square root of the last term must be negative. Therefore, the factors are

Find the factors for
Solution:
Consider the given equation above
We can rewrite the above equation as
Since each term is a perfect square and the other term is negative, then the given binomial can be factored by the difference of two squares. Therefore, the factors are
The middle term that contains xc will be equal to zero.
