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

Answer and explanation

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

The direct answer is A: \(x^2+10x+25=(x+5)^2\). A perfect-square trinomial has the form \(a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2\) or \(a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2\). Here the first term is \(x^2\, so the first square root is \(x\), and the last term \(25\) has square root \(5\). Twice their product is \(2\cdot x\cdot5=10x\), exactly the middle term. B has the correct middle term but should have constant term \(25\), not \(20\). C has the correct first and last terms, but its middle term should be \(10x\), not \(5x\). D has a negative constant and cannot match this square form. The quick check is: halve the middle coefficient, square it, and compare with the constant term.
