Answer: [tex](5x+12)(5x-12)[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]25x^2-144[/tex]
What we have here is;
[tex]a^2-b^2[/tex]
This is as simple as extracting the square root of both terms and multiply them by themselves, one being positive and the other negative as following;
[tex]a^2-b^2=(a+b)(a-b)[/tex]
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The square root of 25 is 5, [tex]x^2[/tex] is x, and 144 is 12
[tex]25x^2-144=(5x+12)(5x-12)[/tex]
