Step-by-step explanation:

x2 − 16 is the difference of two squares, given that 16 can be represented as a square in the form 4^2.

Then, x2 − 16 = x2 − 4^2.

ANSWER

[tex] {x}^{2} - 16[/tex]

EXPLANATION

Difference of two squares refers to two square numbers (terms) that are subtracting.

Thus, difference of two squares is of the form;

[tex] {a}^{2} - {b}^{2} [/tex]

Among the given options, the only expression we can rewrite as difference of two squares is

[tex] {x}^{2} - 16 = {x}^{2} - {4}^{2} [/tex]

The first choice is correct.
