Which expression is a difference of two squares and can be factorised using the identity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² - 49

Answer: A, x² - 49. The difference-of-squares identity is a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b). Here, x² is the square of x and 49 is the square of 7, so x² - 49 = x² - 7². Applying the identity gives (x - 7)(x + 7). Option B is a sum of squares because its sign is plus, so it does not match the identity. Option C is a perfect-square trinomial: x² + 14x + 49 = (x + 7)²; it has three terms, not two squared terms separated by subtraction. Option D has terms that can be rewritten as 2(x² + 4), but it is not directly a difference of two squares. Memory cue: first check two perfect squares and then check for a minus sign between them.
