Answer:

D. Applying the difference of squares algorithm on a sum of squares

Step-by-step explanation:

(a + b)(a − b)

FOIL

a^2 -ab+ab-b^2 = a^2-b^2  

This is not what we started with  a^2 + b^2

(a + b)(a − b)   is for the difference of squares not the sum of squares

Answer:

The answer is D. Applying the difference of squares algorithm on a sum of squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test!
