Which of the following expressions represents a difference of two perfect squares?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: p² − q²

The direct answer is A: p² − q². A difference of two squares has the form A² − B², meaning that two squared quantities are separated by a minus sign. Here p² is the square of p and q² is the square of q, and subtraction joins them. It can also be factorised as (p − q)(p + q), using the identity A² − B² = (A − B)(A + B). Option B is p² + q², so it is a sum, not a difference. Option C is p² + 2pq + q², which equals (p + q)², a perfect square trinomial. Option D is p² − 2pq + q², which equals (p − q)², also a perfect square trinomial rather than a difference of two squares. Memory cue: look specifically for square minus square, with no middle term.
