OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well.. part of the answer is x^(2)-22x+ ___ you gotta find that last part

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

again...if you divide 22 by 2..what do you get?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

11.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

121.

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Now it says to factor the resulting perfect square trinomial. (__)^2

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
