What is ( (p+7)(p-7) ) equal to?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (p^2-49)

The direct answer is C: \\(p^2-49\\). The expression has the form \\(a+b\\)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\\), called the difference of squares. Take a=p and b=7. Then \\(p+7\\)(p-7)=p^2-7^2=p^2-49\\). The middle terms cancel if multiplied directly: \\(p^2-7p+7p-49=p^2-49\\). Therefore C is correct. Option A, \\(p^2+49\\), uses addition instead of subtraction and ignores the opposite signs. Option B, \\(p^2+14p+49\\), is the expansion of \\(p+7\\)^2\\), not a product with p-7. Option D, \\(p^2-14p+49\\), is the expansion of \\(p-7\\)^2\\), not the given product. Exam cue: matching opposite brackets produce a difference of squares, and the middle terms disappear.
