Which one is false about the difference of two squares?

• We can factor because there is addition sign.

• We can factor because there is a perfect squared number (Example: x², 25, 49)

• Formula: a² - b² = (a + b) (a - b)

• We can factor because there is minus sign.

We can't factor using difference of two square this 49x² + 4y². Why?

• Because 4 is not a perfect cubed number.

• Because 4 is not a perfect squared number.

• Because 49 is not a perfect squared number.

• Because we can't factor using difference of two squares if it is addition sign.
