Which shows 532 - 472 being evaluated using the difference of squares method? 532 - 472 = 2809 - 2209 = 600 532 - 472 = (53 + 47)(53 - 47) = (100)(6) = 600 532 - 472 = (53 - 47)2 = 62 = 36 532 - 472 = (2809 + 2209)(2809 - 2209) = 3,010,800

53^2 - 47^2

OpenStudy (dan815):

oh ok that makes sense now xD

OpenStudy (rockstar0765):

nvm

OpenStudy (dan815):

look at the expansion of those brackets

OpenStudy (dan815):

have you learnt foil method?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea but I really didn't get the hang of it...

OpenStudy (dan815):

(53 + 47)(53 - 47)=53^2 +47*53 - 47*53 -47^2=53^2-47^2

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

$$\Huge a^2-b^2=?$$

OpenStudy (anonymous):

600

OpenStudy (dan815):

Well its nothing really, you dont need to understand foil method, just how to explain brackets

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank You @dan815 !

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I was right right?

OpenStudy (dan815):

expand* brackets and yes B is right

OpenStudy (anonymous):
