\n" ); document.write( "to be a perfect square trinomial should be \"y=%28x%2Bc%29%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "recall the rule: \"%28x%2Bc%29%5E2=x%5E2%2B2%2A1%2Ac%2Bc%5E2\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, you have \"y=x%5E2%2B15x%2Bc\" and \"2%2A1%2Ac=2c=15\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "then the value of \"c\" is \"15%2F2=7.5\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"y=%28x%2B7.5%29%5E2+\" \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "so, \"+c+=+7.5\"
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
