Which of the following trinomials can be identified as the perfect square of a binomial?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(a^2+8a+16\)

The direct answer is A: \(a^2+8a+16=(a+4)^2\). Use the identity \((u+v)^2=u^2+2uv+v^2\). The first term is \(a^2\), so the first part is \(a\); the last term is \(16=4^2\), so the second part is 4. The expected middle term is \(2\cdot a\cdot4=8a\), exactly as given. Option B has the correct first two terms but its constant 15 is not \(4^2\), so it is not this perfect square. Option C has first and last terms that suggest \((a+4)^2\), but that would require middle term \(8a\), not \(6a\). Option D has constant 15 and therefore fails the square test; its negative middle term does not fix that. Memory cue: first and last terms must be squares, and the middle term must equal twice their square roots multiplied together.
