The correct Answer is:
To find the product \(\left(\frac{x}{3} + \frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{x}{3} - \frac{1}{2}\right)\) using the appropriate identity, we can use the difference of squares identity, which states: \[ (a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2 \] ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify \(a\) and \(b\)**: - Here, \(a = \frac{x}{3}\) and \(b = \frac{1}{2}\). 2. **Apply the identity**: - According to the identity, we can rewrite the product as: \[ \left(\frac{x}{3} + \frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{x}{3} - \frac{1}{2}\right) = \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^2 - \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 \] 3. **Calculate \(a^2\)**: - Calculate \(\left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^2\): \[ \left(\frac{x}{3}\right)^2 = \frac{x^2}{9} \] 4. **Calculate \(b^2\)**: - Calculate \(\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2\): \[ \left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^2 = \frac{1}{4} \] 5. **Combine the results**: - Substitute \(a^2\) and \(b^2\) back into the identity: \[ \frac{x^2}{9} - \frac{1}{4} \] 6. **Find a common denominator**: - The common denominator for \(9\) and \(4\) is \(36\). - Rewrite each term: \[ \frac{x^2}{9} = \frac{4x^2}{36} \quad \text{and} \quad \frac{1}{4} = \frac{9}{36} \] 7. **Subtract the fractions**: - Now, perform the subtraction: \[ \frac{4x^2}{36} - \frac{9}{36} = \frac{4x^2 - 9}{36} \] ### Final Answer: \[ \left(\frac{x}{3} + \frac{1}{2}\right)\left(\frac{x}{3} - \frac{1}{2}\right) = \frac{4x^2 - 9}{36} \]
