Question

how would u make 4tsquared+2t+1 a perfect square trinomail?

Answer 1

4t^2+2t+1?

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

first devide away the 4

t^2+(1/2)+(1/4)

cool?

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

sorry: t^2+(1/2)t+(1/4)

Answer 6

now we take half the coefficient of the second term, and we put it inside with ()^2 along with the variable

(t+(1/4))^2

and then we square it(half the 2nd term coeficient), and ADD it to the RHS of the equation. we also MOVE the c term to the RHS of the equation(c term here is (1/4).

(t+(1/4))^2= -(1/4) + (1/4)^2

Answer 7

say when

Answer 8

ok

Answer 9

now we just solve for t

can you do this part?

Answer 10

you will have two answers

Answer 11

ok yeah i can do this part thanks

Answer 12

np you can always do this to solve for these things. If you get good at it, you can pretty much do it in your head.
