OpenStudy (anonymous):

My thing wont work on here. Sorry.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh thats fine but I dont text strangers sorry

OpenStudy (rajat97):

it's (x+4)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks!

OpenStudy (rajat97):

you're welcome. if you want the solution, i can write it down

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This special product is a perfect square trinomial a² + 2ab + b² = (a + b)² so as rajat97 said its (x+4)^2 or (x+4)(x+4) Use the distributive property to multiply if you want to check that that is really x^2 +8x +16
