Transcribed Image Text:### Factoring the Sums of Two Squares
This section focuses on exercises to factor expressions that are sums of two squares. Refer to Example 5 for detailed steps on how to approach these problems.
**Exercises:**
34. \(4x^2 + 49\)
35. \(x^2 + 1\)
36. \(36 + 100a^2\)
37. \(18y^2 + 8\)
38. \(\frac{1}{4}b^2 + 25\)
39. \(x^2 + y^2\)
Each problem involves recognizing the structure of expressions that can potentially be factored into other algebraic expressions, keeping the identity related to sums of squares in mind.
If further explanation on the methodology is needed, consult your textbook or class notes under Example 5, which should provide a strategy specific to these types of problems.
