Exercise 10 Page 91

To factor a perfect square trinomial, the first and last terms have to be perfect squares.

Is the Trinomial a Perfect Square? No.

Practice makes perfect

To determine if an expression is a perfect square trinomial, we need to ask ourselves few questions.

Is the first term a perfect square?	x^2= x^2= x^2 ✓
Is the last term a perfect square?	32 colIII *

As we can see, the answer to the second question is no! Therefore, we cannot write the trinomial as the square of a binomial.
