Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The difference of two squares is in the form a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a - b). In this case, a = 7x and b = 2. Therefore, the factored form is 7x + 2)(7x - 2), which is option C. The difference of two squares formula is a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b). In this case, a = 7x and b = 2, so the factored form is (7x + 2)(7x - 2). Choice C is the only one that has this form, so it is the best choice.
