Answer:

D. difference of squares

Step-by-step explanation:

Both of the terms x^2 and 9 are squares, so their difference is the difference of squares. The factorization of that is a "special form" that can be usefully memorized.

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

x^2 -9 = (x -3)(x +3)

Does this image have a set of inputs to a set of possible outputs where each input is related to exactly one outputs Yes or No?

borishaifa [10]

Answer: Yes

This graph passes the vertical line test. This is a test where we try to draw a single vertical line through more than one point on the curve. In this case, such a thing is not possible. Any input x leads to exactly one output y. This graph is a function.
