Which of the following expressions can be factorised as the perfect square of a binomial?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(p^2+10pq+25q^2\)
\(p^2+10pq+25q^2=p^2+2(p)(5q)+(5q)^2=(p+5q)^2\). Its middle term is twice the product of the square roots of the first and last terms. In exams, check this middle-term condition quickly.
