Everyday Math
Mental math You can use the product of conjugates pattern to multiply numbers without a calculator. Say you need to multiply 47 times 53. Think of 47 as 50−3 and 53 as 50+3
- Multiply (50−3)(50+3) by using the product of conjugates pattern, \((a−b)(a+b)=a^2−b^2\)
- Multiply 47·53 without using a calculator.
- Which way is easier for you? Why?
Mental math You can use the binomial squares pattern to multiply numbers without a calculator. Say you need to square 65. Think of 65 as 60+5.
- Multiply \((60+5)^2\) by using the binomial squares pattern, \((a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\)
- Square 65 without using a calculator.

Marta did the following work on her homework paper:
\[\begin{array}{c} {(3−y)^2}\\ {3^2−y^2}\\ {9−y^2}\\ \nonumber \end{array}\]
Explain what is wrong with Marta’s work.
Use the order of operations to show that \((3+5)^2\) is 64, and then use that numerical example to explain why \((a+b)^2 \ne a^2+b^2\)
