y^4−25

20m^2n^2−121

p^8−q^5

16x^2−81

Difference of squares:

y^4−25

16x^2−81

Not difference of squares:

20m^2n^2−121

p^8−q^5

Step-by-step explanation:

y^4−25

(y²)² - 5²

16x^2−81

(4x)² - 9²

20m^2n^2−121

20 is not a perfect square

p^8−q^5

q⁵ is not a perfect square

the answer is:

the answer is:

to solve the problem, we need to remember the quotient of power property, it's defined by the following relation:

if we have a quotienf of powers that have the same base, we need to keep the same base and subtract the exponent of the denominator power to the exponent of the numerator power.

so, we are given the expression:

then, calculating we have:

hence, the answer is:

have a nice day!
