What will be the factorised form of (r^2-2rs+s^2)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((r-s)^2\)

The direct answer is B: \((r-s)^2\). Use the identity \(A^2-2AB+B^2=(A-B)^2\). Match A with r and B with s. The first term becomes \(r^2\), the middle term becomes \(-2rs\), and the final term becomes \(s^2\), exactly matching the given trinomial. Therefore \(r^2-2rs+s^2=(r-s)^2\). Expanding the answer gives \(r^2-rs-rs+s^2=r^2-2rs+s^2\). A would give a positive middle term, \(r^2+2rs+s^2\). C is the difference of squares and simplifies to \(r^2-s^2\), so it has no middle term. D expands to \(r^2-rs-2s^2\), which is different. The key check is the sign of the middle term: a negative middle term means the binomial uses subtraction.
