In which scenario would you use the difference of squares formula to factor a polynomial?

• When the polynomial is a trinomial

• When the polynomial has four terms

• When the polynomial is a binomial with both terms perfect squares

• When the polynomial has a GCF other than 1

Multiply:
(r + 7)(r − 7)

• r ² − 49 

• r ² + 14

• r ² − 7r + 49 

• r − 49

Factor 49r²-36

• (7r + 6)(7r - 6)

• (7r + 6)(7r + 6)

• (7r - 6)(7r - 6)

Is this a perfect square trinomial?
x² + 14x + 49

• Yes

• No
