Factor completely x2 − 8x 16. (x 4)(x 4) (x − 4)(x − 4) (x 4)(x − 4) (x − 2)(x − 8)
Answer:
(x² - 8x + 16) = (x-4) (x-4)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have to factorize the given expression
(x²-8x+16)
(x² - 8x + 16 ) = x² - 2(4x) + 4²
= ( x-4)²
[As we know (a-b)² = a² + b² - 2ab]
so (x² - 8x + 16) = (x-4) (x-4) is the factored form of the given expression.
