Which of the following expressions can be factorised as the square of a difference of two terms?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x^2 − 6xy + 9y^2

The correct answer is B: x^2 − 6xy + 9y^2 = (x − 3y)^2. The relevant identity is (p − q)^2 = p^2 − 2pq + q^2. Here p = x and q = 3y. Then p^2 = x^2, −2pq = −2(x)(3y) = −6xy, and q^2 = 9y^2. All three terms therefore match option B exactly. Option A has the same square terms but a positive middle term, so it represents (x + 3y)^2, not a square of a difference. Option C has a negative final term, so it does not have the perfect-square pattern. Option D is a difference of squares, (x − 3y)(x + 3y), rather than the square of one difference. A useful warning is that the middle sign determines whether the binomial is a sum or a difference: a negative middle term means the two terms are subtracted.
