Which of the following expressions is a perfect square of the sum of two terms?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(p^2+2pq+q^2\)
Expanding \((p+q)^2\) gives \(p^2+2pq+q^2\), so A is the square of a binomial sum. B represents \((p-q)^2\). Exam tip: check that the middle term is exactly \(2pq\).
