Which of the following trinomials can be written as the perfect square of a binomial?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(x^2+12x+36\)
\(x^2+12x+36=(x+6)^2\) because the middle term is \(2\times x\times6=12x\). In option B, the constant term should be \(36\), not \(18\). Exam tip: check whether \(b^2=4ac\).
