Question 2 • DCSS Advanced Algebra CR 24-25

What is the completely factored form of x2 – 16xy + 64y2?

Answer
A
xy(x – 16 + 64y)
B
xy(x + 16 + 64y)
C
(x – 8y)(x – 8y)
D
(x + 8y)(x + 8y)

Explanation

Recognize x² – 16xy + 64y² as a perfect-square trinomial: x² – 2(x)(8y) + (8y)². Using a² – 2ab + b² = (a – b)², it factors to (x – 8y)(x – 8y). Choice C gives this factorization.
