Which expression is identified as a difference of two perfect squares?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: $9a^2 − 16b^2$

The direct answer is A. A difference of two perfect squares has the form $P^2−Q^2$: both terms must be perfect squares and they must be separated by a minus sign. Here $9a^2=(3a)^2$ and $16b^2=(4b)^2$, so $9a^2−16b^2=(3a)^2−(4b)^2$. It can further factorise as $(3a−4b)(3a+4b)$. B contains two squares but uses addition, so it is a sum of squares, not a difference of squares. C has $16b$ rather than $16b^2$; without the square on b, the second term is not generally a perfect square monomial. D is a perfect-square trinomial, since $a^2+8a+16=(a+4)^2$, but it is not written as the difference of two squares. Memory cue: check two things together—each term is a square and the sign between them is minus.
