The first term must have an x value raised to an even root, such as x^2 or x^4. The middle term (if a trinomial) must be able to be made by adding together the factors of the coefficients of first and last terms. For example, x^2 +4x +4 can be factored into (x+2) x (x+2), or (x+2)^2

The first and last term is a perfect square; for example, (x+6y)^2 = x^2 + 12xy + 36y^2
