Factorise (m^2+4mn+4n^2-25).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: ((m+2n-5)(m+2n+5))

The first three terms form a perfect square: \(m^2+4mn+4n^2=(m+2n)^2\). The whole expression is therefore \((m+2n)^2-25\). Since \(25=5^2\), apply \(u^2-v^2=(u-v)(u+v)\), with \(u=m+2n\) and \(v=5\). This gives \((m+2n-5)(m+2n+5)\), so option A is correct.

Expanding the factors confirms the result because their product is \((m+2n)^2-5^2=m^2+4mn+4n^2-25\). Option B uses \(m-2n\), which changes the sign of the middle term. C is a sum rather than a difference of squares, and D does not factor the expression in the required way. First identify the hidden square, then apply the appropriate identity.
