Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Factoring and Expanding
Factoring and expanding are fundamental algebraic techniques used to manipulate expressions. Factoring involves rewriting an expression as a product of its factors, while expanding involves distributing terms to eliminate parentheses. Understanding these processes is crucial for simplifying expressions and solving equations.

Factor by Grouping
Difference of Squares
The difference of squares is a specific algebraic identity that states that the product of two binomials in the form (a - b)(a + b) equals a² - b². This identity is essential for simplifying expressions that involve the subtraction and addition of the same terms, making it easier to find products like the one in the question.
