We must determine if the following expression is a difference of two squares:


9x^2-25.

The expression is a binomial because it has two terms.

We rewrite the binomial as:


\left(3x\right)^2-5^2=\lparen3x-5)\left(3x+5\right?.

As we can see from the expression above, the binomial is the difference of two squares and the factors are (3x - 5) and (3x + 5).

Answer

• The binomial is the difference of two squares.

,

• The factors are (3x - 5) and (3x + 5).
