1. Which of the following is the correct expansion of (a + b)²?
a² + b²
a² - b²
a² + 2ab + b²
a² - 2ab + b²
2. The identity a³ - b³ is equivalent to:
(a - b)(a² + ab + b²)
(a - b)(a² - ab + b²)
(a + b)(a² - ab + b²)
(a + b)(a² + ab + b²)
3. The difference of squares identity states that a² - b² = .
4. A perfect square trinomial can be factored into the form (ax ± b)², where the middle term is the product of 'ax' and 'b'.
5. Expand the expression (3x + 2y)² using a polynomial identity.
6. Factor the expression 49m² - 64n² completely.
