Which of the following expressions can be identified as a difference of two perfect squares and factorised using the identity \(A^2-B^2=(A-B)(A+B)\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(49p^2-64q^2\)
Here, \(49p^2=(7p)^2\) and \(64q^2=(8q)^2\), so the expression is a difference of perfect squares. \(49p^2+64q^2\) is a sum, not a difference. Exam tip: check both terms for perfect squares first.
