Which of the following expressions is a perfect-square trinomial and can be factorised in the form \((a+b)^2\)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(a^2+2ab+b^2\)
Using \((a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\), option A has the required square terms and middle term \(2ab\). Option B has only \(ab\). Exam tip: check whether the middle term is twice the product of the roots of the end terms.
