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"))
Do you know what this question means?
What exactly are you implying?
What do you mean?
Like i'm just asking do you understand the words in this question?
It's okay if you don't I'll explain
If you factor all of these which one doesn't have the same factors
I would just like to be worked through the answer, if you please.
I understand the question.
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
So two numbers that add multiply to 144 and add up to 12y
Its not possible
To factor
So the answer would be the first option, correct?
yeah
Wonderful, You shall receive the Medal of Honor
I hope it pleases you.
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
Well y's not x's but still it would be pretty much the same
