Answer
(p-6)(p+6)
Work Step by Step
We use the formula for the difference of squares to apply to this question.
The difference of squares formula is:
$(a-b) (a+b) = a^{2} - b^{2}$
$p^{2} - 36$
We rewrite it in $a^{2} - b^{2}$ form
$p^{2} - 6^{2}$
In the given formula let p represents a and 6 represents b.
$a^{2} - b^{2}$ = (a-b) (a+b)
$p^{2} - 6^{2}$ =(p-6)(p+6)
