Which of the following trinomials can be factorised as the product of two identical binomials?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(x^2+14x+49\)
For a perfect-square trinomial, the square of the middle coefficient equals four times the product of the first and last coefficients. Here, \(14^2=4\times1\times49=196\), so it has identical binomial factors. Exam tip: check \(b^2=4ac\).
