Verified step by step guidance1
Recall the Difference of Squares formula: \(a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)\).
Identify the two terms in the expression that are perfect squares, meaning each can be written as something squared.
Rewrite the original expression in the form \(a^2 - b^2\) by expressing each term as a square of a simpler expression.
Apply the formula by factoring the expression into the product of two binomials: \((a - b)(a + b)\).
Simplify each binomial if possible, and write the final factored form.
