Which of the following expressions is a perfect-square trinomial and can be written as a product of two identical binomials?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 9p² − 24pq + 16q²
In option A, 9p² = (3p)² and 16q² = (4q)², while the middle term −24pq equals −2(3p)(4q). Hence it is (3p − 4q)². In exams, compare the middle term with ±2ab.
