AAA TRINOMIALS !! I forgot how They look /.<

alones (alones):

perfect... square trinomial?

alones (alones):

Oh i though i posted it all "Which of the following constants can be added to\[ x^2 - x\] to form a perfect square trinomial?"

satellite73 (satellite73):

\((a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\) so for example \[x^2+14x+49=(x+7)^2\]

satellite73 (satellite73):

ooh different question , and this one is kind of tricky

alones (alones):

Yea i forgot how trinomials look >.>

satellite73 (satellite73):

\[x^2-\color{red}1x\] takes two steps

satellite73 (satellite73):

what is half of \(\color{red}1\)

alones (alones):

Okay, x(x−1) *aaa falls*

satellite73 (satellite73):

no dear, what is half of one?

alones (alones):

Uhhh i believe it should be .5

a very nice trick \((a+b)^3=a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3\) 3(1)/1 = 3 2*3=2 = 3 1(3)/3 = 1 So taking the power of a and then multiplying that by the coefficient on that term and then dividing by what ever term you are in +1 gives the coefficient of the next term. This is very nice... Example (a+b)^5 will look like this without the coefficients a^5+a^4b+a^3b^2+a^2b^3+ab^4+b^5 Now we find the coefficients for sure the first one is 1 to find the second we take the power on a in the first term, multiply that my the coefficient on the first term, and divide that by what ever term we are in. 5*1=5 so our second coefficient is 5 now 5*4/2 = 10 so the third is 10 3*10/3 = 10 so the fourth is also 10 2*10/4= 5 so the 5th coefficient is 5 finally 1*5/5 = 1 is the last coefficient
