Which polynomial can be factorised using the identity for the difference of two squares?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 49p² − 25q²

The correct answer is A: 49p² − 25q². The identity U² − V² = (U − V)(U + V) applies when both terms are perfect squares and they are separated by subtraction. Here 49p² = (7p)² and 25q² = (5q)². Therefore 49p² − 25q² = (7p)² − (5q)² = (7p − 5q)(7p + 5q). Option B has addition, so it is not a difference of squares. Option C has 25q rather than 25q², so the second term is not generally a square of a monomial. Option D has coefficients and variables arranged as 7p² and 5q², which are not generally perfect squares in the required form. Memory cue: check both the exponent 2 and the minus sign before applying this identity.
