Question

Factor the polynomial.

Answer 1

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

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`
