Answer:

Explanation:
Question 1)

Rewrite 900 as 30²:

x^(2) -30^(2)

Use D.O.T.S (difference of two squares) formula
x^(2) -y^(2) =(x+y)(x-y) :

x^(2) -30^(2) = (x+30)(x-30)

Answer 1) (x+30)(x-30)

Question 2)

Rewrite 64 as 8²:

c^(2) -8^(2)
Use D.O.T.S (difference of two squares) formula
x^(2) -y^(2) =(x+y)(x-y) :


c^(2) -8^(2) = (c+8)(c-8)
Answer 2) (c+8)(-8)
