Question

What is the difference between the square of the sum and the square of a difference?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Square of the sum

square means you are multiplying something twice and looks like:

ex.
`x*x=x^(2)`

sum is the addition of numbers

so square of the sum looks like:

(a+b)²

Square of the difference

difference means subtraction of numbers

so square of the difference looks like:

(b-a)²

Answer 2

The product of the sum and difference of the same two terms is always the difference of two squares; it is the first term squared minus the second term squared.

Explanation:

Thus, this resulting binomial is called a difference of squares.
