Binomial Squared Perfect Square Trinomial Quadratics – Completing the Square • A Perfect Square Trinomial is any trinomial that is the result of squaring a binomial. • Example 1:
Our goal is to Complete a Perfect Square Trinomial. • Completing a perfect square trinomial means to take a binomial of the form … … and turn it into a perfect square trinomial.
Complete a Perfect Square • The coefficient of the squared term must be 1. In the problems that follow, it will always be 1. • Multiply the coefficient of the linear term by ½. 3) Square the result of step 2. 4) Add the result of step 3 to the binomial. 5) Factor the perfect square trinomial into a binomial squared.
Example 2: Consider the binomial: Fill in the blank with a number that will turn the binomial into a perfect square trinomial.
Multiply the coefficient of the linear term by ½. Square the result. Add the result to the binomial. Factor to show that the trinomial is now a perfect square trinomial
