Explain how to show that a quadratic equation contains a perfect square trinomial

An expression is said to a perfect square trinomial if it takes the form ax2 + bx + c and satisfies the condition b2 = 4ac. The perfect square formula takes the following forms: (ax)2 + 2abx + b2 = (ax + b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor x2+ 6x + 9

Solution

We can rewrite the expression x2 + 6x + 9 in the form a2 + 2ab + b2 as;

x2+ 6x + 9 ⟹ (x)2 + 2 (x) (3) + (3)2

Applying the formula of a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2 to the expression gives;

= (x + 3)2

= (x + 3) (x + 3)

i did it myself and i got 4.2 (b) hope its right
