1. What is a perfect square? 2. What is the square root of 4x²? 3. What is the square root of 25? 4. Factor 4x² + 20x + 25.

Step-by-step explanation:

1) A perfect square is a whole number which is a product of a smaller whole number and itself. Examples of perfect squares are

4(2 × 2)

9(3 × 3)

16(4 × 4)

25(5 × 5)

36(6 × 6)

2) Square root of 4x² is 2x(product of square root of 4 and square root of x²)

3) square of 25 is 5

4) 4x² + 20x + 25

The general formula for solving quadratic equations is expressed as

x = [- b ± √(b² - 4ac)]/2a

From the equation given,

a = 4

b = 20

c = 25

Therefore,

x = [- 20 ± √(20² - 4 × 4 × 25)]/2 × 4

x = [- 20 ± √(400 - 400)]/8

x = [- 20 ± 0]/8

x = - 20/8

x = - 2.5

20
