C) (x - 13)(x - 13)
D) (x + 16)(x - 10)

Respuesta :

It would be B. (x-13)(x+13). 13 times 13 is 169 and multiplying a negative and a positive will still give a negative value

Answer:

The answer is B

Step-by-step explanation:

As 169 is a perfect square of 13 and the formula is, a²-b² = (a+b)(a-b). Or you can try to expand it out :

(x+13)(x-13) = x² - 13x + 13x - 169

= x² - 169

(Hope you understand)
