The product of (a + b)(a − b) is a perfect square trinomial. A) sometimes B) never C) always

OpenStudy (abbles):

If you multiply it out, you will get: \[a^2 - b^2\] Which is the difference of squares.

OpenStudy (abbles):

Do you think it's a perfect square trinomial? Or no?

OpenStudy (abbles):

I'll give you a hint: you should be able to write a perfect square trinomial in the form: (a+b)^2 OR (a-b)^2

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

A perfect square trinomial is an expression with three terms that is the square of a binomial. a + b is a binomial $$\huge (a + b)^2=( a + b ) ( a + b )$$ That^ is the square of a binomial. Use FOIL to see if that answers your question :-)
