Which polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares? 10a2 + 3a – 3a – 16 16a2 – 4a + 4a – 1 25a2 + 6a – 6a + 36 24a2 – 9a + 9a + 4

2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find the polynomial can be simplified to a difference of squares.

1.

Combine like terms

10 in is not a perfect square number  because when a number end with one zero then the number is not perfect square number.

Therefore, it can not be simplified to a difference of squares.

2.

Combine like terms

Hence, the polynomial can be simplified as difference of squares.

3.

Combine like terms

Hence, the polynomial can not be simplified as  difference of squares because the polynomial can be  simplified as sum of squares.

4.

Combine like terms

24 is not  a perfect square number because  when factorize 24 then 2 and 3 are not paired.

Hence, the polynomial can not be simplified as difference of squares.
