Which of the following expressions can be identified using the identity for the difference of two squares?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x^2-25\)

The direct answer is C: \(x^2-25\). Rewrite 25 as \(5^2\); then \(x^2-25=x^2-5^2\). This has the exact pattern \(P^2-Q^2\), so use \(P^2-Q^2=(P-Q)(P+Q)\). The factorisation is \((x-5)(x+5)\). Expanding gives \(x^2+5x-5x-25=x^2-25\). A has a plus sign between the squares, so it is not the difference-of-squares pattern. B is the perfect square \((x+3)^2\), because its middle term is \(6x\). D is a quadratic trinomial, but it does not consist of just two square terms separated by a minus sign and is not a perfect-square identity of the required type. A common confusion is to notice the number 25 but forget to check the sign. The minus sign between the squares is essential.
