Choose the factorised form of 9a² + 24a + 16.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (3a + 4)²

The direct answer is A: (3a + 4)². Begin with the identity p² + 2pq + q² = (p + q)². Here, 9a² = (3a)² and 16 = 4². The middle term produced by these two parts is 2 × 3a × 4 = 24a, exactly the middle term given. Therefore, 9a² + 24a + 16 = (3a)² + 2(3a)(4) + 4² = (3a + 4)². Option A is correct. Option B expands to 9a² − 24a + 16, so its middle sign is wrong. Option C gives 9a² + 40a + 16, not 24a. Option D gives 9a² + 30a + 16, also incorrect. Memory cue: for a perfect-square trinomial, check both end squares and the middle term 2ab.
