Differentiate the products of (m – n)2 and (m – n) (m + n). In which aspect do they differ? Explain. Which is the correct product of (4a – 2b) and (4a + 2b)? 16a2 – 4b2 or 16a2 -16 ab + 4 b2. ​.

Sagot :

The product of [tex](m - n)^{2}[/tex] is different because it is the squared of (m - n), meaning that it multiplies by itself which equates to [tex]m^2 - 2mn + n^2[/tex]. The other one represent the special products which equals to [tex]m^2 - n^2[/tex].

The correct product of (4a - 2b) and (4a + 2b) is [tex]16a^2 - 4b^2[/tex].
