You can put this solution on YOUR website! Given:
.
.
You can tell this is a perfect square trinomial by dividing the multiplier of the "a" term
by 2 and then squaring it. If the answer is +25 then the given trinomial is a perfect square.
.
In this problem you divide the -10 by 2 to get -5 and when you square -5 you get +25 ... just
as the problem already has. So the given trinomial is a perfect square.
.
And the two factors will have half of -10 as their numerical part.
.
So we can write:
.
.
Therefore, the square root of the given trinomial is the square root of:
.
.
and when you take the square root of this quantity, the answer is just:
.
.
That's the answer to your problem. Hope this helps you to see a way to get this answer.
