A student factorises \(49a^2-70ab+25b^2\) as \((7a-5b)(7a+5b)\). Which statement about the student’s solution is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: The correct factorisation is \((7a-5b)^2\).

Answer: A. The given expression has the pattern \(u^2-2uv+v^2=(u-v)^2\), with \(u=7a\) and \(v=5b\). Thus it is \((7a-5b)^2\). Expanding confirms this: \((7a-5b)^2=49a^2-70ab+25b^2\). The student’s product \((7a-5b)(7a+5b)\) uses the difference-of-squares identity and expands to \(49a^2-25b^2\); its middle terms cancel, so it cannot represent the given trinomial. Option B would produce a positive middle term, \(+70ab\). Option C is false because A provides a factorisation. Option D expands to \(49a^2-49ab+25b^2\), not the original expression. Always verify the middle term.
