Question

Write the expression in factored form. m^2-4

Answer 1

For this case we must factor the following expression:

$m ^ 2-4$

According to the formula of difference of squares we have:

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

We have to:

$a = m\\b = 2$

So, we have:

$m ^ 2-4 = (m + 2) (m-2)$

Answer:

The factored expression is:$m ^ 2-4 = (m + 2) (m-2)$

Answer 2

Answer:

(m-2)(m+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

a²-b²=(a-b)(a+b)

let m be a and 2 be b

m^2-2²=(m-2)(m+2)
