Question

What value of c makes the polynomial below a perfect square? x^2+10x+c C=?

Answer 1

the x coefficient is 10

take half of this to get 10/2 = 5

then square this to get 5^2 = 25

Answer 2

so c = 25

Answer 3

Thank you so much for helping me !!((: i appreciate it

Answer 4

you're welcome

Answer 5

what about : what value of b makes the polynomial below a perfect square? x^2+bx+16 B=??

Answer 6

go backwards from what I did

Answer 7

you first take the square root of 16 to get sqrt(16) = 4

then you double this to get 4*2 = 8

that means b = 8

Answer 8

notice how I undid everything I did up top
