Answer 2

Answer:  the correct option is

(A) $(13x+8)(13x-8).$

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to factor the following expression completely :

$E=169x^2-64~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

We will be using he following factorization formula :

$a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b).$

From (i), we get

$E\\\\=169x^2-64\\\\=(13x)^2-8^2\\\\=(13x+8)(13x-8).$

Thus, the required factored form of the given expression is $(13x+8)(13x-8).$

Option (A) is CORRECT.
