If the quadratic expression \(x^2+px+16\) is a perfect square of a binomial, which statement about the possible values of \(p\) is correct?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(p=8\) या \(p=-8\)

The expression must be \((x\pm4)^2\). Expanding gives \((x+4)^2=x^2+8x+16\) and \((x-4)^2=x^2-8x+16\), so \(p=\pm8\). Exam tip: take the square root of the constant term and check the middle term.
