Question

Facrorise fully x^2-43^2

Answer 1

(x - 43)(x + 43).

Explanation:

This is the difference of 2 squares:

a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b) so here we have:

x^2 - 43^2 = (x - 43)(x + 43).

Answer 2

(x - 43)(x + 43)

Explanation:

x² - 43² ← is a difference of squares and factorises in general as

a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b), then

x² - 43²

= (x - 43)(x + 43)
