how to find the last missing terms in perfect square trinomial

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

?

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

what do u mean by last missing term actually?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

in filipino huling nawawalang terms

Parth (parthkohli):

I know how to, so you can count on me ^.^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

like this x^2-4x___

Parth (parthkohli):

For example - \(a^2 + 10x + \underline{}\) First you'd divide it into \(a^2 + 2\cdot 5\cdot x\) Now just find the square of 5 and then fill it into the underlined thing.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok tnx

Parth (parthkohli):

\( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x^2 - 2\cdot 2\cdot x +\underline{}}\) \( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x^2 - 4x + 2^2 }\) \( \color{Black}{\Rightarrow x^2 - 4x + 4 }\)

OpenStudy (maheshmeghwal9):

Oh so that was!

Parth (parthkohli):

This is because \((a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2\) So you just find b and square it and add it ^.^

you got my point :)
