Question

Factor the perfect square trinomial. y^2-16y+64

Answer 1

(y-8)(y-8)

(y + 8)^2

Explanation:

To factor the perfect square trinomial "y^2-16y+64" into two binomials, we need to find two binomials that multiply to give the trinomial.

Let's use the formula (y + n)(y + m), where n and m are integers.

If we set n = 8 and m = 8, we get:

(y + 8)(y + 8) = y^2 + 16y + 64

So, the perfect square trinomial y^2 - 16y + 64 can be factored into the binomials (y + 8)^2.
