What are perfect-square trinomials?
Show answer
a2+2ab+b2=(a+b)2a^2 + 2ab + b^2 = (a + b)^2 and a2−2ab+b2=(a−b)2a^2 - 2ab + b^2 = (a - b)^2.
What is q1?
Show answer
Factor 4x2−364x^2 - 36 completely. [2 points]
What is q2?
Show answer
Factor x2−8x+16x^2 - 8x + 16. [1 point]
What is sign errors in the trinomial pair?
Show answer
For x2−x−12x^2 - x - 12, the numbers are −4-4 and 33 (multiply to −12-12, add to −1-1), giving (x−4)(x+3)(x - 4)(x + 3).
