If the visual model of \(4x^2+kx+49\) is a perfect square and the middle term is positive, what is \(k\)?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 28

Answer: B, 28. Write the first and last terms as squares: \(4x^2=(2x)^2\) and \(49=7^2\). A perfect square with a positive middle term must therefore be \((2x+7)^2\). Apply \((p+q)^2=p^2+2pq+q^2\): the middle term is \(2(2x)(7)=28x\). Thus the coefficient of \(x\) is \(k=28\). A, 14, omits the factor 2 in the cross term. C doubles the correct result and D incorrectly multiplies the constant terms. The positive sign matters: \((2x-7)^2\) would give \(-28x\), not a positive middle term. Memory cue: take the square roots of the end terms, then multiply them and double the result.
