Which expression can be factorised using \(p^2-q^2=(p+q)(p-q)\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x^2-49\)

The direct answer is A: \(x^2-49\). The identity for a difference of squares applies when an expression has two square terms separated by subtraction. Since \(49=7^2\), we can write \(x^2-49=x^2-7^2\). Therefore \(x^2-49=(x+7)(x-7)\). A is correct because it has exactly the required form. B is a sum of squares, not a difference of squares, so this identity does not apply. C is a perfect-square trinomial: \(x^2+14x+49=(x+7)^2\), not a two-term difference. D contains \(x^3\), which is not the square of x, so it does not match the identity. Memory cue: look for two square terms and a minus sign; then use the sum and difference of their roots.
