Which of the following trinomials is a perfect-square trinomial and can therefore be factorised as the product of two identical binomials?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: \(p^2+14p+49\)
In \(p^2+14p+49\), \(49=7^2\) and the middle term \(14p=2\times p\times7\). Hence it is \((p+7)^2\). In exams, check whether the middle term equals \(2ab\).
