Which expression is a perfect-square trinomial and can be written as the product of two identical binomials?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² + 10x + 25

Answer: A, x² + 10x + 25. Use the identity x² + 2kx + k² = (x + k)². In option A, 10x = 2 × x × 5 and 25 = 5², so x² + 10x + 25 = (x + 5)² = (x + 5)(x + 5). Option B has the correct middle term for k = 5, but its constant term is 20 rather than 25, so it is not a perfect square. Option C has constant term 25, suggesting k = 5, but then the middle term should be 10x, not 5x. Option D has a negative middle term, but with constant 20 it still fails the condition; x² − 10x + 25 would be (x − 5)². The sign of the middle term tells whether the repeated binomial uses plus or minus, while its magnitude must match twice the square-root number. Memory cue: the last term is the square of half the middle coefficient.
