Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with selecting which of the options best represents the difference of two squares.

Let’s have an exposition below as follows;

Consider two numbers, which are perfect squares and can be expressed as a square of their square roots;

a^2 and b^2

where a and b represents the square roots of the numbers respectively.

Inserting a difference between the two, we have;

a^2 - b^2

Now by applying the difference of two squares, these numbers will become;

a^2 - b^2 = (a + b)(a-b)

So our answer out of the options will be that option that could be expressed as above.

The correct answer to this is option A

Kindly note that;

x^2 -9 can be expressed as x^2 - 3^2 and consequently, this can be written as;

(x-3)(x + 3)
