Which of the following trinomials is a perfect square?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(a^2−10a+25\)

Direct answer: C, a²−10a+25. A perfect-square trinomial has the form u²−2uv+v² or u²+2uv+v². Here a²=(a)² and 25=5². The required middle term for (a−5)² is −2(a)(5)=−10a, so a²−10a+25=(a−5)². Option A has the correct leading term and middle coefficient for neither listed square with constant 20; 20 is not 5² and the matching constant would be 25. Option B also has constant 20, so it cannot be (a−5)² or (a+5)². Option D has 25=5², but its middle term should be −10a, not −8a. Expanding option C confirms a²−10a+25. Memory cue: take square roots of the first and last terms, then check whether the middle term is plus or minus twice their product.
