What is the correct expansion of \((x-5)^2\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x^2-10x+25\)

Using \((a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\), with \(a=x\) and \(b=5\), gives \((x-5)^2=x^2-2(x)(5)+25=x^2-10x+25\). Hence, option B is correct. Option C has an incorrect positive middle term, while option D is the expansion of \((x-5)(x+5)\), not \((x-5)^2\). Exam tip: in \((a-b)^2\), the middle term is always negative, \(-2ab\).
