In this article, we'll learn how to factor perfect square trinomials using special patterns. This reverses the process of squaring a binomial, so you'll want to understand that completely …

Let's just think about what happens when we take the perfect square of a binomial, especially when the coefficient on the x term is not a 1. If we have ax plus b squared, what will this look …

The perfect square concept is important because we could factor any squares, but perfect squares get whole numbers. So I could say that x^2 - 3 factors to (x + √3) (x - √3) which is …

Completing the square means we can take any quadratic polynomial and force it to into the form of a perfect square trinomial. This video teaches you how to recognize what is a perfect …

Use completing the square to find the value of c that makes x squared minus 44x plus c-- so we can just figure out a c-- that makes it a perfect square trinomial-- and a trinomial is just a …

Completing the square is a technique for factoring quadratics. This article reviews the technique with examples and even lets you practice the technique yourself.

Question 3: Is there a perfect square trinomial (i.e. x 2 10 x + 25 or 4 x 2 + 12 x + 9 )? If a perfect square trinomial is present, factor using the pattern a 2 ± 2 a b + b 2 = (a ± b) 2 .

And if what I'm saying, right now, sounds like a little bit of voodoo, I encourage you to watch some of the videos on perfect square trinomials, perfect square polynomials, some of the last two …

In general, the choice of the number to add in order to complete the square doesn't depend on the right-hand side, but we should always add the number to both sides.

Squaring binomials is a breeze when you recognize patterns! The perfect square pattern tells us that (a+b)²=a²+2ab+b². The video shows how to square more complex binomials. It's all about …
