$(a+b)(a-b) \,=\, a^2-b^2$
$(a+b)(a-b)$ is an algebraic identity and represents the product of two binomials, formed by the summation and subtraction of the literals $a$ and $b$. In mathematics, it is used to write the product of the binomial factors as subtraction of the squares of the literals and vice-versa.
There are two distinct possible ways to derive the proof of the $(a+b)(a-b)$ algebraic identity in mathematics.
