B) $24 a b ( a - b )$
C) $24 a \left( a - b ^ { 2 } \right)$
D) $24 b \left( a ^ { 2 } - b \right)$

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This expression can be factored using the difference of squares formula, which states that $$a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)$$ In this case, we can rewrite the expression as $$24(a^2-b^2)=24(a-b)(a+b)$$ Therefore, the best choice is A, which is equivalent to this expression.
