Which of the following expressions can be factorised using the identity for the difference of two squares, a² − b² = (a−b)(a+b)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 25m² − 36n²

Answer: A. The difference-of-squares identity needs exactly two perfect-square terms separated by a minus sign. In A, 25m² = (5m)² and 36n² = (6n)², so 25m² − 36n² = (5m)² − (6n)² = (5m − 6n)(5m + 6n). B has a plus sign between the squares, so the stated identity does not apply. C is actually (5m − 6n)² because its middle term is −2·5m·6n = −60mn; it is a square of a binomial, not the requested two-square difference form. D is (5m + 6n)² for the same reason, with a positive middle term. A useful warning is that the identity a²−b² produces two factors with opposite signs, while a binomial square produces a middle term.
