Choose the correct factorisation of \(25x^2-36\).

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \((5x-6)(5x+6)\)

Correct answer: B. First identify the expression as a difference of squares: \(25x^2=(5x)^2\) and \(36=6^2\). Apply \(a^2-b^2=(a-b)(a+b)\) with \(a=5x\) and \(b=6\). Therefore, \(25x^2-36=(5x-6)(5x+6)\). Expanding B gives \(25x^2+30x-30x-36=25x^2-36\), confirming it. A is \((5x-6)^2=25x^2-60x+36\), which has an unwanted middle term and the wrong constant sign. C expands to \(25x^2-11x-36\), so it is not equivalent. D gives \(25x^2+60x+36\), also incorrect. Common confusion: do not square each bracket separately; the difference-of-squares factors use opposite signs and no middle term remains after multiplication.
