Respuesta :

16x^2 - 25
(4x - 5)(4x + 5)

Answer:

Option d- The required factored form is [tex]16x^2-25=(4x+5)(4x-5)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Expression [tex]16x^2-25[/tex]

To find : What is the expression in factored form?

Solution :

Expression [tex]16x^2-25[/tex]

We can re-write the given expression in square form i.e, [tex](4x)^2-(5)[/tex]

Now, Applying the identity [tex]a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)[/tex]

Where, a=4x and b=5

[tex](4x)^2-(5)=(4x+5)(4x-5)[/tex]

Therefore, The required factored form is [tex]16x^2-25=(4x+5)(4x-5)[/tex]

So,Option d is correct.
