Correct Answer
B
Explanation
To factorize the expression 4X² - 9y² + 20X + 25, we can group the terms and look for common factors.Grouping the terms, we have:(4X² + 20X) - (9y² - 25)Now, let's factor each group separately:For the first group, we can factor out 4X:4X(X + 5)For the second group, we can recognize it as the difference of squares:(3y - 5)(3y + 5)Putting it all together, we have:4X(X + 5) - (3y - 5)(3y + 5)Therefore, the factored form of the expression 4X² - 9y² + 20X + 25 is 4X(X + 5) - (3y - 5)(3y + 5).
