\left(3a\right)^{2}-1-17a^{2}
Consider \left(3a-1\right)\left(3a+1\right). Multiplication can be transformed into difference of squares using the rule: \left(a-b\right)\left(a+b\right)=a^{2}-b^{2}. Square 1.
3^{2}a^{2}-1-17a^{2}
Expand \left(3a\right)^{2}.
9a^{2}-1-17a^{2}
Calculate 3 to the power of 2 and get 9.
-8a^{2}-1
Combine 9a^{2} and -17a^{2} to get -8a^{2}.
