Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. For example, see x4 — y4 as (x²)² — (y²)², thus recognizing it as a difference of squares that can be factored as (x² — y²)(x² + y²).
For each question, find a pair of integers with the given product and sum.
product: 6, sum: 5
product: 6, sum: 7
product: 4, sum: -5
product: -1, sum: 0
product: -6, sum: 1
product: -12, sum: -1
product: -12, sum: 4
