Which of the following expressions is a perfect-square trinomial and therefore has two identical binomial factors?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 16p² − 24pq + 9q²

Correct answer: A. A perfect-square trinomial has the form a² ± 2ab + b². Here 16p² = (4p)² and 9q² = (3q)². The required middle term for the minus form is −2(4p)(3q) = −24pq. Therefore 16p² − 24pq + 9q² = (4p − 3q)², giving two identical factors, (4p − 3q)(4p − 3q). Option B has 6q² instead of 9q², so the last term is not the square needed. Option C is a difference of squares, not a perfect-square trinomial. Option D has a negative final square term, so it cannot be the square of a real binomial in this pattern; its middle sign also differs. Memory cue: the middle coefficient must equal twice the product of the outer square roots, with the appropriate sign.
