Answer:

Factorized form of the given expression is (k + 2f)(k - f).

Explanation:

The given expression is k² + kf - 2f² and we have to factorize the given expression.

k² + kf - 2f² = k² + 2kf - kf - 2f²

= k(k + 2f) - f(k + 2f)

= (k + 2f)(k - f)

So the factorized form of the expression is (k + 2f)(k - f).
