What is the simplified form of ( (3x+2)(3x-2) )?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(9x^2-4\)

The expression has two binomials with the same first term and opposite second terms. This matches the identity \\(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\\). The middle terms cancel, so there is no term containing only one power of x. Here, the common term is \\(a=3x\\), and the other term is \\(b=2\\). Therefore, the expression becomes \\((3x)^2-2^2\\), which is \\(9x^2-4\\). Thus, option A is correct. Option B incorrectly changes the minus sign to a plus sign, while options C and D do not follow the identity.

To verify by direct multiplication, multiply each term: \\(3x\cdot3x=9x^2\\), \\(3x\cdot(-2)=-6x\\), \\(2\cdot3x=6x\\), and \\(2\cdot(-2)=-4\\). The terms \\(-6x\\) and \\(+6x\\) cancel, leaving \\(9x^2-4\\). This confirms the answer without assuming any particular value of x. The result is therefore exactly the first choice.
