OpenStudy (acxbox22):

is 12 a perfect square?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No?

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

yeah so find an option choice where both terms are perfect squares and there is a difference between them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C?

OpenStudy (triciaal):

sorry had computer issues system was frozen eventually reset

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its fine :) I chose C as the Answer

OpenStudy (acxbox22):

C is correct becasue when factored it leads to (x-6)(x+6) whihc is a difference between two squares

OpenStudy (triciaal):

a perfect square is a number that is the product of a whole number multiplied by itself. |dw:1430202446293:dw|
