Question

$$(5x-2)(5x+2)$$

Evaluate

$25x^{2}-4$

Solution Steps

Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: $\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}$.

$$\left(5x\right)^{2}-2^{2}$$

Expand $\left(5x\right)^{2}$.

$$5^{2}x^{2}-2^{2}$$

Calculate $5$ to the power of $2$ and get $25$.

$$25x^{2}-2^{2}$$

Calculate $2$ to the power of $2$ and get $4$.

$$25x^{2}-4$$
