SHAKE Hash Generator
Variable-length hash generator for SHAKE-128/256, featuring salt support, multiple iterations, and various input/output formats.
Trigonometry Calculator
Calculate six trigonometric functions from radian values with custom decimal precision.
Manually calculating the expression (a+b)(a-b) can be time-consuming and prone to errors. Based on the mathematical difference of squares formula a² - b² = (a+b)(a-b), this tool automatically substitutes your inputted real numbers a and b to instantly output the precise algebraic result.
Does the difference of squares calculator support negative numbers?
Yes. Negative numbers are automatically included in the calculation. For example, when a = -5 and b = 3, the result is (-5)² - (3)² = 25 - 9 = 16.
What is the maximum value it can handle?
Based on the JavaScript number range, it can handle values up to ±1.7976931348623157e+308. However, extremely large or small numbers may experience floating-point precision errors.
Please enter valid real numbers; non-numeric inputs cannot be calculated. Result precision can be set via the dropdown menu (0-10 decimal places). Please be aware of floating-point precision limits when handling extremely large or small numbers. All calculations are performed locally in your browser, ensuring there is no risk of data upload.
The difference of squares formula is highly commonly used in factoring and simplifying expressions. For example, when a = 10.5 and b = 2.5, directly calculating (10.5+2.5)(10.5-2.5) can be complex. Using this tool, you instantly get the result of 13 × 8 = 104, avoiding manual calculation errors. It is recommended for algebra homework, engineering calculations, and quick verifications.
