Which expression is a difference of two perfect squares and can be factorised using \(A^2-B^2=(A-B)(A+B)\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(m^2-36n^2\)

The direct answer is B: \(m^2-36n^2\). Rewrite the second term as a square: \(36n^2=(6n)^2\). Therefore the expression is \(m^2-(6n)^2\), exactly the difference-of-squares pattern. Applying \(A^2-B^2=(A-B)(A+B)\), with \(A=m\) and \(B=6n\), gives \((m-6n)(m+6n)\). Expanding cancels the cross terms and returns \(m^2-36n^2\). A is a sum of squares, so the stated identity does not apply. C is the perfect square \((m+6n)^2\), because its middle term is \(12mn\). D has \(36n\), not \(36n^2\), so the second term is not a perfect square of the required form. Memory cue: both terms must be squares and the sign between them must be minus.
