Which of these expressions NAY be a perfect square trinomial? A. 144 + 12y + y^2 B. 100 + 20y + y^2 C. 64 - 16y + y^2 D. 25 + 10y + y^2 ((Btw: "Nay be" = "Isn't"))

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Do you know what this question means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What exactly are you implying?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

What do you mean?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Like i'm just asking do you understand the words in this question?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

It's okay if you don't I'll explain

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

If you factor all of these which one doesn't have the same factors

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would just like to be worked through the answer, if you please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I understand the question.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Okay so how do you factor the first one remember when your factor remember you need to multiply 2 numbers to get the last number that adds the the middle one

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

So two numbers that add multiply to 144 and add up to 12y

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Its not possible

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

To factor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the answer would be the first option, correct?

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wonderful, You shall receive the Medal of Honor

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I hope it pleases you.

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

The other ones you can factor the same like y^2+20y+100 10x10=100 10+10=20 so (x+10)(x+10) they are the same

OpenStudy (kayders1997):

Well y's not x's but still it would be pretty much the same
