Question

n the polynomial below be factored into a perfect square? if not select the best describes...49x^2+98x+49
a) the x^2 coefficient does not permit the factoring.
B) the x^2 coefficient does permit the factoring.
C)the constant value does not permit the factoring.
D)the polynomial may be factored into a perfect square.

Answer 1

if it is a perfect square, then it must be \((7x+7)^2\)
multiply out and see if you get \(49x^2+98x+49\)

Answer 2

thanks this helped a bit

Answer 3

i hope you see that if you multiply
\[(7x+7)(7x+7)\] you get
\[49x^2+49x+49x+49=49x^2+98x+49\]
