What will be the factorised form of (4x^2-20x+25)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ((2x-5)^2)

The direct answer is D: \(4x^2-20x+25=(2x-5)^2\). Use \(a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2\). The first term is \(4x^2=(2x)^2\), and the last term is \(25=5^2\). The middle term is \(-2(2x)(5)=-20x\), exactly as required. Therefore the expression is \( (2x-5)(2x-5)\). Option A, \( (2x+5)^2\), would produce a positive middle term \(+20x\), so its sign is wrong. Option B, \( (4x-5)^2\), would begin with \(16x^2\), not \(4x^2\). Option C gives \( (2x-10)(2x-5)\), whose product has a different middle term and constant term. Option D is correct because both square roots and the negative middle sign match. Memory cue: a negative middle term means the two terms in the square are subtracted.
