Identify Formula: Identify the formula to use for multiplying two binomials that are conjugates.We use the difference of squares formula, which is (a+b)(a−b)=a2−b2.
Substitute Values: Substitute the values of a and b into the formula.Here, a=2x and b=5. So, (2x+5)(2x−5)=(2x)2−52.
Calculate Squares: Calculate the squares of 2x and 5. (2x)2=4x2 and 52=25. So, (2x+5)(2x−5)=4x2−25.
