What is the result of ((x-7)(x+7))?

Answer and explanation

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

The product has two binomials that are identical except for the signs between x and 7. Such a pair is called a difference-and-sum pair, or conjugate binomials. When these are multiplied, the two middle terms cancel each other. This gives the identity \((a-b)(a+b)=a^2-b^2\), which is also called the difference of two squares.

Here, take \(a=x\) and \(b=7\). Applying the identity gives \((x-7)(x+7)=x^2-7^2=x^2-49\). Direct multiplication gives the same result: \(x^2+7x-7x-49\), and the middle terms disappear. Therefore option C is correct. Option A would result from incorrectly treating the product as a sum of squares.
