For this case we have the following trinomial:

To find the value of c that makes the expression a perfect square, we must complete the square.

We have then:

Rewriting we have:


x ^ 2 + 7x +(49)/(4)

Therefore the value of c is given by:


image

Then, the expression written as a binomial is:

Answer:

the value of c that makes the expression to perfect square trinomial is:

The question ask to calculate the expression as the square of a binomial and also find the value of c that makes the expression a perfect square and the best answer would be that the value of C is 49/4  and its perfect square is (7/2)^2.  I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more
