Question

Which of the following constants can be added to x2 + x to form a perfect square trinomial?

Answer 1

The constant should be added to form a perfect square trinomial will be 1/4. Then the correct option is D.

What is a quadratic equation?

It's a polynomial with a value of zero. There exist polynomials of variable power 2, 1, and 0 terms. A quadratic equation is an equation with one statement in which the degree of the parameter is a maximum of 2.

The expression is x² + x.

Then the constant should be added to form a perfect square trinomial.

Then the constant will be

The square of the half of the coefficient of the variable x is to be added to make a perfect square.

Then the constant will be 1/4.

Then the perfect square will be

$\rm \rightarrow x^2 + x + \dfrac{1}{4}\\\\\\\rightarrow x^2 + 2 \times \dfrac{1}{2} x + \left (\dfrac{1}{2} \right )^2\\\\\\\rightarrow \left (x + \dfrac{1}{2} \right)^2$
