Can someone please help me? Im a little confused. Given the following perfect square trinomial, fill in the missing term. x2 - 16x + ____ (3 points)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1,2,4,8

OpenStudy (eyust707):

wait wait im leading you astray.. It would be 64... because -8 *-8 = 64 and -8 + (-8) = -16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (eyust707):
