Hahaha :D

It's C xD
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[(ax+b)^2 = ax^2 +2ab + b^2\]
OpenStudy (nincompoop):
why are we giving out answers?
OpenStudy (magbak):
6 divided by 2 it 3. And 3 squared is 9

25b2 − 40b + 16
(5b)^2-2(5b)(4)+(4)^2
(5b-4)^2
OpenStudy (cwrw238):
its C
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yaaaayyyy I won xD
OpenStudy (jhannybean):
Take b.
\[\large 4a^2-28a-49\]\[\large a^2 =4a^2\]\[\large b^2 = 49\]
\[\large a^2-b^2\] Doesnt fit the form.
try c.
\[\large a^2-b^2 = a^2 -2ab+b^2 \]\[\large a^2 = 25a^2 \ \therefore \ a= 5a\]\[\large b^2 = 16 \ \therefore \ b=4\]put it into our form of difference of squares.
OpenStudy (nincompoop):
listen to professor beanhead she got this

I'll explain :)
36x2 − 18x − 9
The formula is (x-2)^2 = x^2-4x+4
So plus should be in the end but there is minus so this can't be the perfect square xD
4a2 − 28a − 49
Same case minus is there instead of plus
25b2 − 40b + 16
This is perfect square because
25b2 − 40b + 16
(5b)^2-2(5b)(4)+(4)^2
(5b-4)^2
4x2 − 6x + 9
This even cant be the perfect square
So, option C is the answer xD
