The product of which two binomials is written as a difference of squares?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \((x+y)(x-y)=x^2-y^2\)
The correct identity is \((x+y)(x-y)=x^2-y^2\). On multiplying, the middle terms \(-xy\) and \(+xy\) cancel, leaving a difference of squares. Exam tip: look for binomials with opposite signs.
