Factoring Special Products Polynomials

Factor the polynomial below. If it cannot be factored write "prime." DO NOT WRITE ANY SPACES IN YOUR EXPRESSION. \(49-a^{2\ }\)

x² - 25

• ( x + 5 ) ( x - 5 ) 

• ( x - 5 ) ( x - 5 ) 

• ( x + 5 ) ( x + 5 ) 

• Prime

If a = 4x and b = 5, write a SUM of Cubes Problem that would need to then be factored.
