Answer:

(x + 11)(x - 11)

Explanation:

Since
x^(2) and 121 are both perfect squares (
\sqrt{x^(2) =
x and
√(121) =
11), we can write the difference of two perfect squares a and b in the factored form:
(√(a) +√(b) ) (√(a) - √(b) ). Therefore, the factored form of x^2 - 121 is (x +11)(x - 11).

Hope this helped! :)
