Step 1
Given algebraic expression is:
16x225
Both the terms in the above expression are in form of perfect squares.
Therefore the given algebraic expression follows difference-of-squares pattern.
Step 2
We use the identity:
a2b2=(a+b)(ab)...(1)
Then we get,
16x225
=(4x)2(5)2
=(4x+5)(4x-5); [using the identity (1)]
Hence is the required factorization.

16x225=(4x)2(5)2
ft{a2b2=(a+b)(ab)right}
=(4x+5)(4x-5)
=(4x+5)*(4x-5)
