Answer:

y^2 + 14y +49

Explanation:

A perfect trinomial square is of the form

a^2 +2ab+b^2 = (a+b)^2

or

a^2 -2ab+b^2 = (a-b)^2

In all these a = 1

200 is not a perfect square so it doesnt fit b^2

81 means b=9 2ab = 18 so the second term is out

47 means b = 7 2ab = 14 so this a perfect square trinomial

36 means b = 6 2ab = 12 so the last term is out
