Factor the expression, if possible. Factor out any GCF first (including -1 if the leading coefficient is negative). $$4 x ^ { 2 } - 4 x + 1$$
A) $( 2 x + 1 ) ^ { 2 }$
B) $( 2 x - 2 ) ^ { 2 }$
C) $( 2 x - 1 ) ( 2 x + 1 )$
D) $( 2 x - 1 ) ^ { 2 }$
E)prime

We can use the formula $a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2$ to notice that $4x^2-4x+1=(2x-1)^2$, so the expression is fully factored. Therefore, the answer is D.

Factor the Expression, If Possible 4x2−4x+14 x ^ { 2 } - 4 x + 14x2−4x+1

Factor the Expression, If Possible $4 x ^ { 2 } - 4 x + 1$
