How do you determine if a polynomial is the difference of two squares?
"Difference" implies subtraction. Example: The difference of 8 and 5 is 3 because 8 - 5 = 3. To determine if a polynomial is the difference you probably have to subtract one polynomial from another and check if your answer matches a given polynomial. To clarify the above, the polynomial should be able to be factorised into two distinct factors. For example x^2 - y^2 = (x + y)(x - y). This is the difference of two squares.
What is the difference of the squares of two primes is 72 what are these two primes?

The product of the sum and difference of two terms is equal to the what of the squares of the terms?
The difference.
How do you identify a difference of two squares?
The word "difference" implies subtraction. The word "squares" implies a perfect square term or number. To recognize the "difference of squares" look for 2 perfect square terms, one being subtracted from the other. Ex. x2 - 16. "x" is being squared and 16 is a perfect square. They are being subtracted. Factors: (x+4)(x-4)
