Question

how do i make X^2+6x+c a perfect square trinomial

Answer 1

Are you supposed to find \(c\) such that it can be factored?

Answer 2

The constant term, c, is the square of half of the coefficient of x.

Answer 3

In other words, take 6, divide it by 2, and then square it. That is c.

Answer 4

yes, you are

Answer 5

You're not looking for a value of c that just makes the trinomial factorable. You are looking for the only value of c that will make the trinomial a perfect square trinomial.
