Question

$$( 7 x + 2 y ) ( 7 x - 2 y )$$

Evaluate

$49x^{2}-4y^{2}$

Solution Steps

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

$$\left(7x\right)^{2}-\left(2y\right)^{2}$$

Expand $\left(7x\right)^{2}$.

$$7^{2}x^{2}-\left(2y\right)^{2}$$

Calculate $7$ to the power of $2$ and get $49$.

$$49x^{2}-\left(2y\right)^{2}$$

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

$$49x^{2}-2^{2}y^{2}$$

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

$$49x^{2}-4y^{2}$$
