Answer: Adding will make a perfect square trinomial. It is always positive because it is the square of the number.

When a binomial is squared, the result is the square of the first term added to twice the product of the two terms and the square of the last term. a2+2ab+b2=(a+b)2anda2−2ab+b2=(a−b)2.

Hope this helps.
