Which trinomials are perfect square trinomials? Select each correct answer. A. a^2 + 4a + 16 B. a^2 + 26a + 169 C. a^2 + 15a + 75 D. a^2 + 14a + 49
@Vocaloid
the coefficient multiplied to a is b (for example, in answer choice A, b = 4 since that's the coefficient multiplied to a) the constant term (the number w/ no variable) is c (for example, in answer choice A, c = 16) select all answer choices where c = (b/2)^2
A, and D
D is correct A is not try the other choices
ok not A, it's either C or B so it's B to go with D
good, B+D
Factor completely. 4p² + 36p + 81 Express the answer in the form (ap + b)^2 . Enter your answer in the box. ____________________
it's correct (2p + 9)^2 ?
yup that's your ans
Which expressions are differences of squares? Select each correct answer. A. x^2 + 25 B. a^2 − 36 C. n^2 − 50 D. w^2 − 121
1) the sign has to be a minus sign since we want a "difference" 2) the constant term needs to be a perfect square (when you take the square root of it it will give you an integer) select all choices that follow these two rules
B and C
50 is not a perfect square, keep trying
A and C
A has a plus sign, so no
ok A you leave out, B, C, D since they all have minus signs

if something I said is unclear you are welcome to ask me questions, but you need to say something b/c I can't read your mind
oh ok now i get it, It's C and D
no, 50 is not a perfect square
not A or C
good, so B + D only
Which trinomials are perfect square trinomials? Select each correct answer. A. m^2 + 10m + 25 B. m^2 + 24m + 144 C. m^2 + 36m + 60 D. m^2 + 10m + 100
similar logic as before, the middle coefficient is b and the consant needs to be (b/2)^2 please try to do the actual calculations before guessing
B and A
awesome, that's it
Factor completely. 25w² + 60w + 36 Express the answer in the form (aw + b)^2 . Enter your answer in the box. ________________________
(5w + 6)^2
awesome, that's it
Factor. 25m^100 − 121n^16 A. (5m^10 − 11n^4)^2 B. (5m^50 − 11n^8)^2 C. (5m^50 − 11n^8)(5m^50 + 11n^8) D. (5m^10 − 11n^4)(5m^10+11n^4)
