Question

Factor the polynomial.

Answer 1

Answer:

Final answer is choice B. $(5x-2y)^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factor the given expression $25x^2-20xy+4y^2$

$25x^2-20xy+4y^2$

$=25x^2-10xy-10xy+4y^2$

$=5x(5x-2y)-2y(5x-2y)$

$=(5x-2y)(5x-2y)$

$=(5x-2y)^2$

Hence final answer is choice B. $(5x-2y)^2$
