Answer:
( 2x + 5y )^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:
Use the formula for the square of a binomial: (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2.
Both 4 and 25, the coefficient of x2 and y2, are perfect squares. This makes us think that the whole expression could be a perfect square: 4 is 22, and 25 is 52. So, our claim is that
4x2−20xy+25y2 is (2x−5y)2. Is it true? The only term to verify is −20xy, and it is indeed twice the product of 2x and −5y. So, the conjecture was right.
