What is the value of ( (x+5)^2-(x-5)^2 )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (20x)

Use the difference-of-squares identity \\( (u+v)^2-(u-v)^2=4uv\\). In this expression, \\(u=x\\) and \\(v=5\\). Hence the value is \\(4(x)(5)=20x\\). Direct expansion gives \\(x^2+10x+25-(x^2-10x+25)\\); the equal square and constant terms cancel, leaving \\(20x\\). Both methods confirm the same result.

Therefore option C is correct. Option A, \\(10x\\), keeps only one of the two linear contributions, while option B incorrectly treats the expression as a product involving 25x. Option D ignores the variable terms and is not obtained by the identity. Recognising the plus-minus square pattern makes the calculation quick and reduces sign errors.
