Which of the following expressions is a perfect-square trinomial and can therefore be written as the square of a binomial?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² + 10x + 25

Answer: A, since x² + 10x + 25 = (x + 5)². Use the pattern u² + 2uv + v² = (u+v)². Here u=x and v=5: u²=x², 2uv=10x, and v²=25. All three parts agree, so A is a perfect-square trinomial. B has the correct first two terms but its constant 20 is not 5², so it cannot equal (x+5)². C has the correct end terms but its middle term is 5x rather than 2·x·5=10x. D has a negative middle term, which suggests (x−5)², but that square expands to x²−10x+25, not a constant 20. Checking both the coefficient and the sign prevents quick visual errors. The word trinomial also means that three terms must be present.
