True or False:

This is a Perfect Square Trinomial

100x^2 −10xy + y^2

The answer is False

A Perfect Square Trinomial should be in the form of this:


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

The following,
100x^(2) -10xy+ y^(2), definitely does not follow the rule given and, therefore, is not a Perfect Square Trinomial.

I hope this helped!! Have an amazing day :)
