Question 95512This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
: Okay I really do not understand this chapter could you please help with this problem also?
Determine whether each of the following trinomials is a perfect square. If it is, factor the trinomial.
x^2 - 24x + 48
Could you please explain to me how I would even begin to solve this problem? Thank you for the help. This question is from textbook Beginning Algebra
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 48 is not a perfect square so the trinomial is not a "perfect trinomial square"
-------------
Perfect squares have the following form
(a+b)^2 = a^2+2ab+b^2
or
(a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2
