Question

Factor the polynomial 25x^2-20xy+4y^2
A.
(5x-2y)*(5x+2y)
B.
(5x-2y)^2
C.
(5x+2y)^2
D.
It cannot be factored

Answer 1

The answer is B

Answer 2

thankyou

Answer 3

(5x - 2y)•(5x - 2y)25x2-20xy+4y2 is a perfect square.
It factors into (5x-2y)•(5x-2y)
which is another way of writing (5x-2y)2

How to recognize a perfect square trinomial:

• It has three terms

• Two of its terms are perfect squares themselves

• The remaining term is twice the product of the square roots of the other two terms




Final result :

(5x - 2y)2

Answer 4
