Which of the following expressions can be factorised using the identity (a − b)²?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 9x² − 24xy + 16y²

Correct answer: A. The identity is (a − b)² = a² − 2ab + b². In option A, 9x² = (3x)² and 16y² = (4y)². The required middle term is −2(3x)(4y) = −24xy, exactly as given. Therefore 9x² − 24xy + 16y² = (3x − 4y)². Option B has the correct-looking outer coefficients but its final term is negative, whereas a square expansion has a positive final square term. Option C is a difference of squares, (3x − 4y)(3x + 4y), not a square of one binomial. Option D has 8y² instead of the required 16y², so its middle term does not fit the identity. Memory cue: for a square trinomial, check first square, last square, and middle term −2ab.
