Which of the following expressions is a perfect-square trinomial that can be written as the square of a binomial?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(9a^2-24ab+16b^2\)

The direct answer is A: \(9a^2-24ab+16b^2=(3a-4b)^2\). A perfect-square trinomial follows \(X^2-2XY+Y^2=(X-Y)^2\) or \(X^2+2XY+Y^2=(X+Y)^2\). Here the first term is \((3a)^2\), the last term is \((4b)^2\), and twice their product is \(2(3a)(4b)=24ab\). The middle sign is negative, so we use \((3a-4b)^2\). Option A therefore matches all three parts. B has \(15b^2\), not the required \(16b^2\), so it cannot be the square of \(3a-4b\). C has a negative final square term, which does not fit this real perfect-square pattern, and its signs do not match the required identity. D has only two terms, so it is a difference of squares, not a trinomial. A useful check is: take square roots of the first and last terms, then verify that the middle term is plus or minus twice their product.
