do you know what a "perfect square trinomial" is?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

perfect square is basically a number multiplied by itself eg. 1x1 2x2 3x3 so the perfect squares are 1 4 and 9 respectively

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right..

OpenStudy (mertsj):

There is a certain relationship that exists between the coefficient of x and the constant in these special trinomials.

OpenStudy (mertsj):

This is the special relationship: If you divide the coefficient of x by 2 and then square that number, that is the constant term.
