If a visual model represents x² + 10x + 25, which identity does it illustrate?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (x + 5)²

The correct answer is B, (x + 5)². Compare the expression with the identity (x + a)² = x² + 2ax + a². Here the constant term is 25, so a = 5 because 5² = 25. The middle term then becomes 2(x)(5) = 10x, exactly as required. Therefore x² + 10x + 25 = (x + 5)². In a visual model, x² is the large square, the two equal strips together contribute 10x, and the small corner square contributes 25. Option A would expand to x² − 10x + 25, with the wrong sign. Option C is a difference of squares and has no 10x term. Option D expands to x² + 20x + 100, so both its middle and constant terms are wrong. Memory cue: half the coefficient of x gives the number in the perfect square, and its square gives the constant term.
