Which of the following expressions represents a difference of two perfect squares?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(p^2-q^2\)
In \(p^2-q^2\), both \(p^2\) and \(q^2\) are perfect squares and they are separated by subtraction, so it is a difference of squares. \(p^2+q^2\) has addition. Exam tip: look for “square minus square.”
