\nWe have:
\nso EVERYTHING inside the bracket must get multiplied by \\( \\var{C1}\\)
\nbecomes:
\nFinally, we can collect \"like terms\" to give:
\n\n
b) When an expression can be viewed as the difference of two perfect squares, i.e. \\(a^2-b^2\\), then we can factor it as \\((a+b)(a-b)\\).
\nWe have:
\nSo this can be factorised as:
\nNote: This relies on you being able to recognise square numbers.
