Use the difference of squares pattern to factor the polynomial.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The difference of squares pattern is (a-b)(a+b), where a and b are both square roots of the terms being subtracted. In this case, we can rewrite the polynomial as 11ec1e8e_2bfc_cdce_be9b - 11ec1e8e_2bfc_dbdd91fd8a4b, where a = sqrt(11ec1e8e_2bfc_cdce_be9b) and b = sqrt(11ec1e8e_2bfc_dbdd91fd8a4b). Then we can factor the polynomial as (a-b)(a+b), giving us choice C: 11ec1e8e_2bfc_cdce_be9b_dbdd91fd8a4b_TBX8967_11.
