Which of the following trinomials is a perfect square and can be factorised as the product of two identical binomials?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: \(x^2+10x+25\)

Answer: A, \(x^2+10x+25\). A trinomial that is the square of a binomial follows \(a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2\). Take a=x and b=5. Then \(a^2=x^2\), \(2ab=10x\), and \(b^2=25\), so \(x^2+10x+25=(x+5)^2=(x+5)(x+5)\). The two factors are identical, as required. Option B has 20 instead of the necessary 25. Option C has 5x instead of the necessary 10x. Option D has 30 instead of 25. Thus none of B, C, or D can be the square of \(x+5\), and no other value of b can satisfy both the middle and constant terms. Memory cue: take half of the middle coefficient, square it, and compare that result with the constant term. If they match, the trinomial is a perfect square.
