Which trinomial is a perfect-square trinomial that can be factorised as the product of two identical binomials?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² + 8x + 16

The correct answer is A: x² + 8x + 16. The first term is x² = (x)² and the last term is 16 = 4². For a square trinomial, the middle term must be 2 × x × 4 = 8x. Therefore x² + 8x + 16 = (x + 4)² = (x + 4)(x + 4). Option B has the same middle term but 12 is not a perfect square equal to 4², so it cannot be the required square. Option C has the correct last term, but its middle term is 6x instead of 8x. Option D also has 16 as its last term, but 4x is not twice x times 4. Expanding (x + 4)(x + 4) gives x² + 4x + 4x + 16 = x² + 8x + 16. Memory cue: for x² + bx + c to be (x + r)², c must be r² and b must be 2r.
