Answer:
(13a – 2b)²
Step-by-step explanation:
169a² – 52ab + 4b² ← is a perfect square trinomial of the form
(ax – b)² = a²x² – 2abx + b²
Compare the coefficients of the squared terms
a² = 169 ⇒ a =
= 13
b² = 4 ⇒ b =
= 2
and – 2ab = – 2 × 13 × 2 = – 52 , then
169a² – 52ab + 4b² = (13a – 2b)² ← in factored form
