Answer:
\(25x^2-10x+4y-4y^2\)
\(=25x^2-10x+1-4x^2+4y-1\)
\(=\left(25x^2-10x+1\right)-\left(4y^2-2y+1\right)\)
\(=[\left(5x\right)^2-2.5x.1+1]-[\left(2y\right)^2-2.2y.1+1]\)
\(=\left(5x-1\right)^2-\left(2y-1\right)^2\)
\(=\left(5x-1-2y+1\right).\left(5x-1+2y-1\right)\)
\(=\left(5x-2y\right).\left(5x+2y-2\right)\)
