Question 9 • Algebra I

Which are perfect square trinomials? Choose two correct answers.

Answer
A
x squared plus 10 x plus 25
B
x squared minus 9
C
x squared minus 100
D
x squared plus 15 x plus 36
E
x squared minus 4 x plus 4

Explanation

A perfect square trinomial has the form a² + 2ab + b² or a² − 2ab + b². Choice D is x² + 10x + 25 = (x + 5)², and choice E is x² − 4x + 4 = (x − 2)². The other choices do not have the matching middle and constant terms needed to form a squared binomial.
