Which term completes the product so that it is the difference of squares? (−5x−3)(−5x+ −9 −3 3 9

The answer is:

The term that completes the product so that it is the difference of squares, is 3.

We must remember that a difference of squares is the difference of two squared terms, for example, we have that:

We can factorize the difference of squares of the example by the following way:

So, we are given the following expression:

If we need to complete the product, so that is the difference of squares, we need to use the number "3".

Let's prove that by substituting it into the expression:

Hence, we have that the obtained expression is a difference of squares.

So, the correct option is the third option, the term that completes the product so that it is the difference of squares, is 3.

Have a nice day!
