Which of the following expressions is the expansion of a perfect square binomial?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(a^2+10ab+25b^2\)
\((a+5b)^2=a^2+2(a)(5b)+25b^2=a^2+10ab+25b^2\), so option A is a perfect square. In exams, check whether the middle term equals twice the product of the terms.
