Which trinomial can be factorised as a perfect square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x^2+10x+25\)

Direct answer: A, \(x^2+10x+25=(x+5)^2\). For a trinomial \(x^2+2kx+k^2\), the first and last terms are squares and the middle term is twice their roots multiplied. Here \(25=5^2\), and twice the product of x and 5 is \(10x\), so the identity gives \((x+5)^2\). Option A is correct. Option B has constant 20 instead of 25, so it cannot be the square of a binomial with first term x² and middle term 10x. Option C has the correct constant 25, but its middle term should be 10x, not 8x. Option D has a negative constant, so it cannot match \((x+5)^2\) or \((x-5)^2\), both of which have positive constant 25. Memory cue: for \(x^2+bx+c\), if c=25, test roots ±5; the middle coefficient must then be ±10.
