In the polynomial below, what number should replace the question mark to produce a difference of squares? x + ? X-36

O a. 36

O b. 6

O c. 12

O d. O

Option d. 0

Step-by-step explanation:

The given polynomial is x + ? x-36.

We are asked in this question to find the number that should replace the question mark to produce a difference of square.

The answer will be option d. i. e. 0. (Answer)

Since, if we put 0 in place of the question mark, then the polynomial becomes

x + 0 - 36 = x-36

And it can be expressed as (√x) ² - 6² i. e. difference of two squares.
