Question

The geometric model represents a perfect square trinomial use the drop-down menus identify the two factors

Answer 1

the answer is (x-4) and (x-4) on edge

Explanation:

Answer 2

Factor 1 is (x-4) and Factor 2 is (x-4).

Explanation:

From the given geometric model it clear that we have 1 box of x², 8 boxes of -x and 16 boxes +. So, the perfect square trinomial represented by the given geometric model is

`x^2-8x+16`

It can be rewritten as

`x^2-2(4)x+4^2`

Using formula of perfect square trinomial, we get

`(x-4)^2`
`[\because (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2]`

`(x-4)(x-4)`

Therefore the Factor 1 is (x-4) and Factor 2 is (x-4).
