Which of the following expressions is a perfect-square trinomial and can be factorised in the form (a+b)²?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: a² + 2ab + b²

Answer: A, because a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)². To understand this from the beginning, multiply (a + b) by itself: a² + ab + ab + b² = a² + 2ab + b². Thus a perfect-square trinomial has three parts: the square of the first term, twice the product of the two terms, and the square of the second term. A contains all three parts in the correct signs and coefficients. B is wrong because its middle term is only ab, not 2ab. C is wrong because the signs do not match the identity for (a+b)²; it also has a negative final term. D is wrong because it has only two terms and lacks the required middle term. Do not confuse (a+b)² with a²+b²: squaring a sum creates the two cross-products ab, which combine to 2ab.
