Answer :

4m^2-20mn+25n^2, a perfect square trinomial 

Answer:

[tex]4m^2 - 20mn+25n^2[/tex]

It is a perfect square trinomial

Step-by-step explanation:

(-2m+5n)^2

WE have square , so we multiply it twice

(-2m+5n)((-2m+5n)

Apply FOIL method to multiply it

[tex]-2m * -2m = 4m^2[/tex]

[tex]-2m * 5n = -10mn[/tex]

[tex]5n * -2m = -10mn[/tex]

[tex]5n * 5n = 25n^2[/tex]

Combine all the terms together

[tex]4m^2 - 10mn-10mn +25n^2[/tex]

combine like terms, the equivalent expression is

[tex]4m^2 - 20mn+25n^2[/tex]

It is a perfect square trinomial
