Whose perfect square is 16a² − 40ab + 25b²?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (4a − 5b)²

Correct answer: A, (4a − 5b)². Use the identity (u − v)² = u² − 2uv + v². The first term 16a² is (4a)², and the last term 25b² is (5b)². The middle term should therefore be −2(4a)(5b) = −40ab, which is exactly present. Hence 16a² − 40ab + 25b² = (4a − 5b)². Option A matches all three terms after expansion. Option B expands to 16a² + 40ab + 25b², so its middle sign is incorrect. Option C has first square (16a)² = 256a² and last square (25b)² = 625b², so it is much too large. Option D has first square (8a)² = 64a², not 16a². Memory cue: take square roots of the outer terms, then use the middle term to decide the sign.
