Answer:
x² -5x + (5/2)²
Step-by-step explanation:
x² -5x + b² = (x + y)² = x² + 2xy + y²
-5x = 2xy ∴-5 = 2y y = - 5/2
b² = y² b = y = - 5/2
Expression: x² -5x + 25/4 = (x - 5/2)²
Answer: The perfect-square trinomial is x^2 - 5x + 25/4 = (x - 5/2)^2
Step-by-step explanation:
A perfect square trinomial is someting like:
(a + b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab
then, if we have:
x^2 -5x +
one of the therms is a = x, let's find b.
-5 = 2b
then b = -5/2
then we have:
x^2 - 5x + (5/2)^2 = x^2 - 5x + 25/4 = (x - 5/2)^2
