You can put this solution on YOUR website! A quick way to tell if the trinomial is a perfect square is:
Is the square of half the x-coefficient equal to the constant term?
1) The square of half the x-coefficient is: = 16, so the answer is yes!
Factor:
2) The square of half the x-coefficient is: = 25, so the answer is yes!
Factor:
