Need help on factoring trinomials:(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[s^2 +16s +64\]

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

find the values a and b where ab = 64 and a + b = 16 the factors will be (s + a)(s + b)

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

note: a might be = b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be (x+8)(x+8) ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@Luigi0210 @jim_thompson5910

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Yes, it would be that.

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no, it's not, cause i got it wrong on my online homework...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@cwrw238 @Luigi0210 ??

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Hmm, really? Well it could also be represented in the form \[\LARGE (x+8)^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok let me try tht

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it;s wrong...

OpenStudy (cwrw238):

well it really should be (s + 8)^2 - is that right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Actually, im so sorry guys, you guys were right. I mis typed a 'x' instead of an 's' Sorry and thanks so much for the help:D

OpenStudy (luigi0210):

Dang it, I messed up on the variable.. sorry >.<
