Which of the following trinomials can be factorised as the product of two identical binomials?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x^2+14x+49\)

The direct answer is A: \(x^2+14x+49=(x+7)^2\). A repeated-binomial factorisation has the form \((x+r)^2=x^2+2rx+r^2\) or \((x-r)^2=x^2-2rx+r^2\). In A, the first term is \(x^2\), the constant term is \(7^2=49\), and twice the corresponding number is \(2(7)=14\), exactly the middle coefficient. Option B has the correct first two terms but 48 is not \(7^2\), so it is not a perfect square. C has constant 49 but the middle coefficient should be 14, not 7. D has a negative middle term but a negative constant term; a square of a real binomial has a non-negative squared constant part in this pattern, and \((x-7)^2=x^2-14x+49\), not D. Another quick test for \(ax^2+bx+c\) is \(b^2=4ac\) when it is a perfect-square trinomial; for A, \(14^2=4(1)(49)=196\).
