s^2 - 2s + 1 - 64f^2

Any idea how to factor this?

"Energizer Bunny arrested, charged with battery."

it's  the diff of two squares

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)

-------
jesus christ was a cunt and a rapist

---

s^2 - 2s + 1 = (s - 1)^2

it's the diff of two squares

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)

---

You neglected the -64f^2...and it's not set equal to 0...so I don't think you can do that...

wtf

i didnt neglect it at all

i'm just informing you that s^2 - 2s + 1 = (s - 1)^2 and that you then have a difference of two squares

and of course you can do it

a^2 - b^2 is always equal to (a - b)(a + b)

(s-1)^2 - (8f)^2

Sorry...I was forgetting that you can do that...the lack of parentheses threw me off...I feel like a goof

Math=heartache.

math is fucking awesome

it looks simplified to me.

No.
