Answer:
Option C, [tex]36x^2 + 60x + 25[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Determine the perfect square
According to online, "When an expression has the general form a²+2ab+b², then we can factor it as (a+b)². For example, x²+10x+25 can be factored as (x+5)². This method is based on the pattern (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b², which can be verified by expanding the parentheses in (a+b)(a+b)"
The only one that seems to work is Option C so lets factor it.
[tex]36x^2 + 60x + 25[/tex]
[tex](6x + 5)(6x + 5)[/tex]
[tex](6x + 5)^2[/tex]
Yup! We can see that Option C would give us a perfect square
Answer: Option C, [tex]36x^2 + 60x + 25[/tex]
