+26367 For what real values of $a$ is $x^2 + ax + 25$ the square of a binomial?
If you find more than one, then list your values in increasing order, separated by commas.
\(\begin{array}{|rcll|} \hline (x+5)^2 &=& x^2 + 10x + 25 \quad & | \quad a=10 \\ (x-5)^2 &=& x^2 - 10x + 25 \quad & | \quad a=-10 \\ \hline \end{array} \)
