Which expression can be factorised using the identity a² + 2ab + b²?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: x² + 14x + 49

The direct answer is A: x² + 14x + 49. The identity a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)² requires the first and last terms to be perfect squares and the middle term to equal twice the product of their square roots. Here x² = x² and 49 = 7². Twice their product is 2 × x × 7 = 14x, exactly the middle term. Therefore x² + 14x + 49 = (x + 7)². Option B has 36 = 6², but 2 × x × 6 = 12x, not 14x. Option C has the correct last term 49, but its middle term is 7x instead of 14x. Option D has 42 as the constant term, which is not 7², and it also fails the perfect-square pattern. The safe method is to check all three parts: first square, twice-the-product middle term, and second square.
