$a^2-b^2$
Learn how to solve factor problems step by step online. Factor the expression a^2+(-ab^2)/a. Simplify the fraction \frac{-ab^2}{a} by a. Simplify \sqrt{a^2} using the power of a power property: \left(a^m\right)^n=a^{m\cdot n}. In the expression, m equals 2 and n equals \frac{1}{2}. Any expression multiplied by 1 is equal to itself. Simplify \sqrt{b^2} using the power of a power property: \left(a^m\right)^n=a^{m\cdot n}. In the expression, m equals 2 and n equals \frac{1}{2}.
