Factor the expression below. x2 - 4x + 4 A. 4(x2 - x + 1) B. (x - 2)(x + 2) C. (x + 2)(x + 2) D. (x - 2)(x - 2)

Respuesta :

Answer:

D. (x - 2)(x - 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

x2 - 4x + 4 = x² - 2x - 2x +4

                  = x(x-2)  -  2(x - 2)                    

                  = (x-2)(x-2)

HINT:   - 2x +4  = -2 * x  + (-2) * (-2) = -2 ( x -2)
