Can someone help me with my math ^^ The question is in the picture

jhonyy9:

in what case you see this form of a^2 -b^2

person321:

thats not in any of them, thats why I'm confused

Angle:

@person321 it doesn't look directly like that formula because you need to factor out the greatest common factors first. For example: We can factor out a (5x^2) out of \(5x^4+20x^2\) so that it looks like \(5x^2 (x^2 + 4)\) then we can see that the \(x^2+4\) is technically a "sum of perfect squares" but since we want the DIFFERENCE of perfect squares, E is NOT an answer - but that show's you the strategy
