Factor. 4m^6−16p^10 a (2m^3−4p^5)^2 b (2m^3−4p^5)(2m^3+4p^5) c (2m^3−4p^5)(2m^3−4p^5) d (2m^3+4p^5)^2

B (2m^3−4p^5)(2m^3+4p^5)

The factoring of the difference of squares is the product of the sum and difference of the squared terms.

... a² -b² = (a -b)(a +b)

Here, you have ...

So, the factoring is the product of the sum and difference of these values:

... (2m^3 -4p^5)(2m^3 +4p^5) . . . . . . matches selection B
