Recognize Form: Recognize the form of the expression.The expression 121−x2 is a difference of squares because it can be written as a2−b2, where a=11 and b=x.
Apply Formula: Apply the difference of squares formula.The difference of squares formula is a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b). Here, a=11 and b=x, so we apply the formula to get (11+x)(11−x).
Write Factorization: Write the final factorization.The complete factorization of the expression 121−x2 is (11+x)(11−x).
