1) a² - 4b² = a² - (2b)² = (a - 2b)(a + 2b)
2) 4a² - b² = (2a)² - b² = (2a - b)(2a + b)
3) a² - 25 = a² - 5² = (a - 5)(a + 5)
4) 25a² - 1 = (5a)² - 1² = (5a - 1)(5a + 1)
5) a² - 9 = a² - 3² = (a - 3)(a + 3)
6) 9a² - 1= (3a)² - 1² = (3a - 1)(3a + 1)
7) 121 - a² = 11² - a² = (11 - a)(11 + a)
8) 64a² - 9 = (8a)² - 3² = (8a - 3)(8a + 3)
9) 81a² - 25 = (9a)² - 5² = (9a - 5)(9a + 5)
10) 144a² - 81 = 9.(16a² - 9)
= 9.[(4a)² - 3²] = 9(4a - 3)(4a + 3)
11) 36a² - 49b² = (6a)² - (7b)² = (6a - 7b)(6a + 7b)
12) 196a² - 4b² = 4(49a² - b²)
= 4[(7a)² - b²) = 4(7a - b)(7a + b)
