Which is the correct factorisation of (25x^2-20xy+4y^2-36)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ( (5x-2y-6)(5x-2y+6) )

The direct answer is option A: \(5x-2y-6)(5x-2y+6)\). First, \(25x^2-20xy+4y^2=(5x-2y)^2\), because the square of \(5x-2y\) is \(25x^2-20xy+4y^2\). Therefore the expression is \( (5x-2y)^2-6^2\). Using \(A^2-B^2=(A-B)(A+B)\), we obtain option A. Option B uses \(5x+2y\), whose square has a positive \(20xy\), not a negative one. Option C does not reproduce the original quadratic and is not the required identity. Option D is only \( (5x-2y+6)^2\), which has no subtraction of \(36\) and produces extra terms. Memory cue: a perfect square minus a square factors as difference and sum.
