Answer: The answer is C

Explanation:

Well, an example of a perfect square trinomial would look like is:


a^2-2ab+b^2 or
a^2+2ab+b^2

So since we already know what
a^2 is and what
2ab is we just have to find
b^2

However, we would use the
a^2-2ab+b^2 formula to solve this since we have a subtraction sign
