Which products result in a difference of squares? Check all that apply. (5z + 3)(–5z – 3) (w – 2.5)(w + 2.5) (8g + 1)(8g + 1) (–4v – 9)(–4v + 9) (6y + 7)(7y – 6) (p – 5)(p – 5)

Respuesta :

these are the answers because i had the same question and they told me these were the answers 
(w – 2.5)(w + 2.5)

(–4v – 9)(–4v + 9)

Answer:

Option 2  [tex](w-2.5)(w+2.5)=w^2-2.5^2\\[/tex] and option 4 [tex](-4v-9)(-4v+9)=-(4v+9)(-)(4v-9)=4v^2-9^2[/tex]

Explanation:

In option 1 [tex](5z+3)(-5z-3)=-(5z+3)(5z+3)=-(5z+3)^2[/tex]  which is not the difference of squares

In option 2 [tex](w-2.5)(w+2.5)=w^2-2.5^2\\[/tex] using the formula

[tex](a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\\Here \\a=w,b=2.5[/tex]

Clearly, the difference of squares

In option 3[tex](8g+1)(8g+1)=(8g+1)^2[/tex] not the difference of squares

In option 4[tex](-4v-9)(-4v+9)=-(4v+9)(-)(4v-9)=4v^2-9^2[/tex]

Clearly the difference of squares

In option 5 [tex](6y+7)(7y-6)=42y^2+13y-42[/tex] not the difference of squares

In option 6 [tex](p-5)(p-5)=(p-5)^2[/tex] not the difference of squares
