Under which condition will the quadratic expression \(x^2+bx+c\) be a perfect-square trinomial?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(b^2=4c\)

The direct answer is A: \(b^2=4c\). A monic perfect-square trinomial has the form \((x+r)^2=x^2+2rx+r^2\). Comparing coefficients with \(x^2+bx+c\), we get \(b=2r\) and \(c=r^2\). Squaring the first relation gives \(b^2=4r^2=4c\). Therefore the necessary condition is \(b^2=4c\), and when this holds, \(x^2+bx+c=(x+b/2)^2\). Option B incorrectly makes the middle coefficient directly equal to four times the constant. Option C misses the factor 4; for example, with \(r=1\), we have \(b=2,c=1\), so \(b^2=4\), not \(1\). Option D is unrelated to the perfect-square pattern. Memory cue: halve the middle coefficient and square it; that must equal the constant term.
