Question 98027: I am a bit confused with this question. Could you kindly help me.
Determine whether each polynomial is a different of tow squares, a perfect square trinomial, or neither of these.
x^2 - 8x - 64
Is this a perfect square trinomial. I got x^2 - 2x^2 - 8^2. Please help me.

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Determine whether each polynomial is a different of two squares, a perfect square trinomial, or neither of these.
x^2 - 8x - 64
---------------
Not a perfect square because the middle term is not twice the product
of the square roots of the 1st and 3rd term.
------------------------
Not a difference of squares.
