Answer 1

`\huge\text{Hey there!}`

`\bold{p^2-4p+4=0}`

`\text{FACTOR the LEFT side of your equation}\\\bold{(p-2)(p-2)=0}`

`\text{SET each of your FACTORS TO EQUAL to 0}\\\bold{p-2=0\ or\ p-2=0}`

`\text{SIMPLIFY the equations\ above and you will have your answer}`

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{Answer: \large\text{\bf{p = 2}}}}}\huge\checkmark`

Answer 2

Perfect square trinomial

`\boxed{ a^2 \pm 2ab+b^2 = (a \pm b)^2 }`

Using the perfect square trinomial

`p^2 - 4p + 4 = 0`

`p^2 - 2(2p) + (2)^2 = 0`

`(p-2)^2 = 0`

`(p-2) = 0`

`p = 2`
