How to factor 25a^1-(3a+2b)^2?

Directrix (directrix):

Should this --> 25a^1 be 25a^2 ? @GarrettAcademy

Directrix (directrix):

If so, do you know how to factor the difference of two squares, say x^2 - y^2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes it should be 25a^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i can factor the difference of two squares

Directrix (directrix):

25a ² - (3a+2b)² = (5a)² - (3a+2b)² = Do you see the expression above as the difference of two squares? If so, try your hand at factoring it. @GarrettAcademy
