Answer:
(4x + 5)²
4x² + 20x + 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Factor 16x² + 40x + 25
(4x + __)(4x + __)
What multiplies to 25 and adds up to 40 with 4 multiplied as coefficient?
(4x + 5)(4x + 5) or (4x + 5)²
Step 2: Factor perfect square trinomial
36x² - 4x + 16 --> 4(9x² - x + 4) No
16x² - 8x + 36 --> 4(4x² - 2x + 9) No
25x² +9x + 4 --> 25x² + 9x + 4 No
4x² + 20x + 25 --> (2x + 5)(2x + 5) or (2x + 5)² Yes
Answer:
(4x + 5)(4x + 5).
4x^2 + 20x + 25.
Step-by-step explanation:
16x^2 + 40x + 25
= (4x + 5)(4x + 5)
= (4x + 5)^2.
36x^2 − 4x + 16: To be a perfect square trinomial, the factors would have to be (6x + 4) or (6x - 4). Since the value of b is only -4, this is NOT a perfect square trinomial.
16x^2 − 8x + 36: To be a perfect square, factors would have to be (4x + 6) or (4x - 6). Since the value of b is only -4, this is NOT a perfect square.
25x^2 + 9x + 4: To be a perfect square, factors have to be (5x + 2) or (5x - 2). Since b is positive, factors would be (5x + 2)(5x + 2) = 25x^2 + 20x + 4. 20x is not equal to 9x, so this is NOT a perfect square.
4x^2 + 20x + 25: Perfect square would have to have factors (2x + 5) or (2x - 5). b is positive, so factors are (2x + 5)(2x + 5) = 4x^2 + 10x + 10x + 25 = 4x^2 + 20x + 25. This IS a perfect square!
Hope this helps!
