Factor each of the following differences of two squares and write your answer together with solution.
[tex] \large \boxed{\mathbb{ANSWER\: WITH\: EXPLANATION} \downarrow}[/tex]
[tex] \sf \: x ^ { 2 } - 36[/tex]
Rewrite [tex]\sf\:x^{2}-36 as x^{2}-6^{2}[/tex]. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule:[tex]\sf\: a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)[/tex].
[tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(x-6\right)\left(x+6\right) }}[/tex]

[tex] \sf \: 49 - x ^ { 2 }[/tex]
Rewrite 49-x² as 7²-x². The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: [tex]\sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)[/tex].
[tex] \sf \: \left(7-x\right)\left(7+x\right) [/tex]
Reorder the terms.
[tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(-x+7\right)\left(x+7\right) }}[/tex]

[tex] \sf \: 81 - c ^ { 2 }[/tex]
Rewrite 81-c²as 9²-c². The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: [tex]\sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)[/tex].
[tex] \sf\left(9-c\right)\left(9+c\right) [/tex]
Reorder the terms.
[tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(-c+9\right)\left(c+9\right) }}[/tex]

[tex] \sf \: m ^ { 2 } n ^ { 2 } - 1[/tex]
Rewrite m²n² - 1 as [tex]\sf\left(mn\right)^{2}-1^{2}[/tex]. The difference of squares can be factored using the rule: [tex]\sf\:a^{2}-b^{2}=\left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)[/tex].
[tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf\left(mn-1\right)\left(mn+1\right) }}[/tex]
