please help

perfect square are those you can write as
\[(tx \pm ry)^2\]
When you expand a binomial in tthat form you'll get
\[t^2x^2 \pm 2txry + r^2y^2\]
In your case, \[r^2y^2=27\rightarrow ry=3\sqrt {3}\]
\[t^2x^2=3x^2 \rightarrow tx=\sqrt {3} x\]
Then
\[2txry= 18x \]
In your case "b"=2try
So, you'll get b=18
Got it?

i got how u got 3√3
but then no
what did u exactly do?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
The exact same, aply a square root to t^2x^2, to obtain tx
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so 3√3 multiply by what?

by tx, the easiest explanation says
\[(ax+c)^2=a^2+2acx+c^2\], in that case, your "b" will be 2ac, got it?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes so first we divid everything by 3?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if you do that, you'll get b/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes is that correct?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm...show me how you do

i dont get it :'(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if i divid by 3 ill get x^2+bx+9
i take c multiply it by 2 :D
OpenStudy (anonymous):
you'll get x^2+(b/3)x+9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i dont get your way its so complicated :/ where did you get tryx from
OpenStudy (anonymous):
random constants xD
