9y^2 is not a perfect square.
10x^2 is not a perfect square.
Neither 9y^2 nor 10x^2 are perfect squares.
Both 9y^2 and 10x^2 are perfect squares.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Neither 9y^2 nor 10x^2 are perfect squares.

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct answer  for the statement "10x^2 - 9y^2 is not the difference of two squares" is:

"Neither 9y^2 nor 10x^2 are perfect squares."

In the expression \(10x^2 - 9y^2\), neither \(9y^2\) nor \(10x^2\) is a perfect square. For it to be the difference of two squares, both terms must be perfect squares.
