Question

Find the product of (x − 5)2. (1 point) x2 + 10x + 25 x2 − 10x + 25 x2 − 25 x2 + 25

Answer 1

x² - 10x + 25

Explanation:

Took the test and this one was right.

Answer 2

x² - 10x + 25

Explanation:

Given

(x - 5)²

= (x - 5)(x - 5)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(x - 5) - 5(x - 5) ← distribute both parenthesis

= x² - 5x - 5x + 25 ← collect like terms

= x² - 10x + 25
