100 + 20k + k²
k² + 20k + 100 {re-arranged into standard form}

a² + 2ab + b² is one form of a perfect square trinomial}
It factors into the form (a + b)²

k² + 20k + 100 is a perfect square trinomial.
it factors into (k + 10)²
- the first term of the binomial is the square root of k²
- the second term of the binomial is the square root of 100
