Factor 25-16t^2

Problem

25−16*t2

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a difference of two squares, which follows the pattern a2−b2

2. Determine the square root of the first term, 25 which is 5

3. Determine the square root of the second term, 16*t2 which is 4*t

4. Apply the formula for the difference of squares, a2−b2=(a−b)*(a+b) using a=5 and b=4*t

Final Answer

25−16*t2=(5−4*t)*(5+4*t)
