In which form can ( y^2-20y+100 ) be written?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ( (y-10)^2 )

The direct answer is option C, \((y-10)^2\). Start with the identity \((a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\). Here, take \(a=y\) and \(b=10\). Then \((y-10)^2=y^2-2(y)(10)+10^2=y^2-20y+100\), exactly the given expression. Option A, \((y+10)^2\), expands to \(y^2+20y+100\), so its middle sign is wrong. Option B, \((y-20)^2\), expands to \(y^2-40y+400\), so both the middle coefficient and constant are wrong. Option C gives all three terms correctly and is therefore correct. Option D, \(y^2-100\), is a difference of squares and has no \(-20y\) term, so it is not equal. The negative middle term tells us to use subtraction inside the square. Memory cue: half of 20 is 10, and the constant is \(10^2\).
