Multiple Choice

A quality assurance specialist is documenting the simplification process for the expression m26mm213m+21m2\frac{m^2-6m}{m^2-1} - \frac{3m+2}{1-m^2}. After combining the terms into a single fraction, the specialist must factor the denominator m21m^2 - 1 to determine if further simplification is possible. Which algebraic pattern name should the specialist use to describe the factoring of m21m^2 - 1 into (m1)(m+1)(m - 1)(m + 1)?
