[tex]\sf \: {x}^{2} - 5[/tex]

[tex]\sf \: Use \: the \: algebraic \: identity \\ \sf \: a {}^{2} - {b}^{2} = (a - b)(a + b)[/tex]

[tex]\sf \: Substitute \: the \: value \: of \: a \: and \: b \: in \: the \: identity.[/tex]

[tex]\sf \: a = \sqrt{x ^{2} } = x \\ \sf \: b = \sqrt{5} [/tex]

[tex]\sf \: the \: identity \: becomes \: [/tex]

[tex]\sf {x}^{2} - 5 \\ \sf = (x - \sqrt{5} )(x + \sqrt{5} ) \\ [/tex]

Answer ⟶ [tex]\boxed{\bf{(x - \sqrt{5} )(x + \sqrt{5} )}}[/tex]
