Answer:

C. [tex](4x-8)^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to determine whether the given polynomial [tex]16x^2-64x+64[/tex] can be factored into perfect squares. If so, factor the polynomial. Otherwise, select that it cannot be factored into a perfect square.

[tex]16x^2-64x+64[/tex]

[tex]=16x^2-32x-32x+64[/tex]

[tex]=16x(x-2)-32(x-2)[/tex]

[tex]=(16x-32)(x-2)[/tex]

[tex]=16(x-2)(x-2)[/tex]

[tex]=16(x-2)^2[/tex]

[tex]=4^2(x-2)^2[/tex]

[tex]=(4(x-2))^2[/tex]

[tex]=(4x-8)^2[/tex]

Hence final answe is choic C. [tex](4x-8)^2[/tex]
