Question

What is the perfect square trinomial of 36?.

Answer 1

`36` is the square of
`6`. The square of a binomial is called a perfect square trinomial.
`X^2+12x+36` is a perfect square trinomial.

Answer 2

A perfect square trinomial is a polynomial of the form (x + b)^2 = x^2 + 2bx + b^2. It is called a "perfect square" because when it is multiplied out, the resulting polynomial is a square of a binomial.

To find the perfect square trinomial of 36, we need to find two numbers that when added, give us b and when multiplied give us b^2=36.

Those two numbers are 6 and -6, since 6*-6 = -36 = 36.

So, the perfect square trinomial of 36 is (x + 6)(x - 6) = x^2 - 36

Another way to find the perfect square trinomial is to take the square root of the constant term (36) and then add and subtract that value to the variable.

√36 = 6

then x^2 + 6x - 6x + 36 = x^2 - 36

So, the perfect square trinomial of 36 is x^2 - 36.
