Answer:
I have given you an idea plz try to solve it by yourself.............plz mark me as brainliest
Step-by-step explanation:
Factor x2+ 6x + 9
Solution
We can rewrite the expression x2 + 6x + 9 in the form a2 + 2ab + b2 as;
x2+ 6x + 9 ⟹ (x)2 + 2 (x) (3) + (3)2
Applying the formula of a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2 to the expression gives;
= (x + 3)2
= (x + 3) (x + 3)
Example 2
Factor x2 + 8x + 16
Solution
Write the expression x2 + 8x + 16 as a2 + 2ab + b2
x2 + 8x + 16 ⟹ (x)2 + 2 (x) (4) + (4)2
Now we will apply the perfect square trinomial formula;
= (x + 4)2
= (x + 4) (x + 4)
