Question 23 • Algebra 2 with Probability

What is the completely factored form of x squared minus 16 x y plus 64 y squared ?

Answer
A
x y open paren x plus 16 plus 64 y close paren
B
open paren x plus 8 y close paren times open paren x plus 8 y close paren
C
open paren x minus 8 y close paren times open paren x minus 8 y close paren
D
x y open paren x minus 16 plus 64 y close paren

Explanation

The expression is a perfect-square trinomial: x² − 16xy + 64y². Since 64y² = (8y)² and the middle term −16xy equals −2(x)(8y), it factors as (x − 8y)². This matches “(x − 8y) times (x − 8y).”
