Fill in the blanks:
To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:
Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: The given expression is . The goal is to match this with .
Step 2: Compare the expanded form with the expanded square:
Step 3: Since both and values match consistently through all comparisons, reconstruct the expression:
.
This confirms the correct filling of blanks with consistent polynomial expression alignment.
Therefore, the filled-in expression is , matching with the correct choice.
Therefore, the correct solution is .
Choose the expression that has the same value as the following:
\( (x+3)^2 \)
Look for the pattern! A perfect square trinomial has three terms where the first and last terms are perfect squares, and the middle term equals twice the product of the square roots of the outer terms.
When solving , you get . Check which sign works by testing the middle term. Here, confirms we need positive 4.
Consistency is key! All three coefficient equations must give the same values for a and b. If they don't match, you've made an error or the expression isn't a perfect square.
You could start with to get , but it's usually easier to start with the coefficient of x² since it directly gives you the first blank.
Perfect square trinomials in fill-in-the-blank problems typically have integer coefficients. If you're getting fractions or decimals, double-check your arithmetic or reconsider the problem setup.
