Answer:
[tex]\textsf{b.} \quad (2x+5)^2[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given quadratic equation:
[tex]4x^2+20x+25[/tex]
To factor a quadratic in the form [tex]ax^2+bx+c[/tex], find two numbers that multiply to [tex]ac[/tex] and sum to [tex]b[/tex].
[tex]\implies ac=4 \times 25=100[/tex]
[tex]\implies b=20[/tex]
Factors of 100 that sum to 20: 10 and 10
Rewrite [tex]b[/tex] as the sum of these two numbers:
[tex]\implies 4x^2+10x+10x+25[/tex]
Factorize the first two terms and the last two terms separately:
[tex]\implies 2x(2x+5)+5(2x+5)[/tex]
Factor out the common term (2x + 5):
[tex]\implies (2x+5)(2x+5)[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\implies (2x+5)^2[/tex]
