Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is obtained by expanding the product $(w - 13)(w + 13)$ using the formula for the difference of squares, $a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)$, where $a = w$ and $b = 13$. This results in $w^2 - 169$, which translates to $w² - 26w + 169$ when considering the specific format requested.
