Calculation:
Consider the trinomial
Recall that to factor a polynomial split the middle term in such a way that sum of two numbers is the middle term and product of two numbers is same is product of first and last term.
Also the square of difference of two numbers a and bis
In the providedtrinomial
In the above polynomial there does not exist two numbers such that their sum is
The trinomial is rewritten as,
Thus, the trinomial
