Lesson Worksheet: Expanding an Expression to a Difference of Two Squares Mathematics • 9th Grade

In this worksheet, we will practice multiplying the sum of two terms by their difference to get the polynomial known as the difference of two squares.

Q1:

Expand the product (𝑥+1)(𝑥1).

  • A𝑥+1
  • B𝑥2𝑥1
  • C𝑥+2𝑥1
  • D𝑥1
  • E𝑥+2𝑥+1

Q2:

Use the difference of two squares identity to expand (3𝑎+7)(3𝑎7).

  • A6𝑎14
  • B9𝑎7
  • C9𝑎49
  • D9𝑎49
  • E3𝑎49

Q3:

If 𝑥𝑎=(𝑥+5)(𝑥5), what is the value of 𝑎?

Q4:

Expand the product (2𝑚+𝑛)(2𝑚𝑛).

  • A4𝑚+2𝑚𝑛+𝑛
  • B4𝑚+2𝑚𝑛𝑛
  • C4𝑚2𝑚𝑛+𝑛
  • D4𝑚𝑛
  • E4𝑚+𝑛

Q5:

If 𝑥𝑦=9 and 𝑥+𝑦=10, what is the value of 𝑥𝑦?

Q6:

Complete the following: 𝑥=(𝑥5)(𝑥+5).

Q7:

If 𝑥+𝑦=2 and 𝑥𝑦=6, what is the value of 𝑥𝑦?
