Respuesta :

the answer is C

C. (4x + 5)(4x + 5)

Answer:

Option C

(4x + 5)(4x +5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write the expression

[tex]16x^{2} + 40x + 25[/tex]

Step 2: Choose to integers that when you add you get 40 and when multiplied you get 400

The integers are +20 and +20

Step 2: Split 40x into + 20x nd + 20 x

Therefore

[tex]16x^{2} + 40x + 25 = 16x^{2} + 20x + 20x + 25[/tex]

Next

[tex]16x^{2} + 20x + 20x + 25 = 4x(4x + 5) + 5(4x + 5)\\(4x + 5)(4x + 5)[/tex]
