If the expression \"x%5E2%2Bbx%2Bc\" is a perfect square, then \"c=%28b%2F2%29%5E2\" (ie take half of b and square it to get c)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So in this case, \"b=-10\". So \"d=%28-10%2F2%29%5E2=%28-5%29%5E2=25\" which means that \"d=25\". So the perfect square is \"y%5E2-10y%2B25\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
