Which of the following trinomials is the square of a binomial?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x^2+10x+25\)

Answer: A, \(x^2+10x+25\). Use the identity \((a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\). In the first expression, \(x^2
e a^2\) suggests a=x, and 25=5^2 suggests b=5. The middle term required is \(2ab=2(x)(5)=10x\), exactly what appears. Hence \(x^2+10x+25=(x+5)^2\), so it is the square of a binomial. Option B has the same first two terms, but the constant should be 25, not 20. Option C has the wrong middle coefficient: \((x+5)^2\) would have 10x, not 5x. Option D has no middle term and is not the displayed trinomial square; \((x+5)^2\) would again require 10x and 25. Memory cue: for \(x^2+2kx+k^2\), check whether the constant is the square of half the x-coefficient.
