So confused pls help>>>> there’s a pic

Answer 1

Answer:

  (c)  25/4

Step-by-step explanation:

A perfect square trinomial is obtained by "completing the square." The constant in a perfect square trinomial is the square of half the x-coefficient.

Square of a binomial

A "perfect square trinomial" is the square of a binomial.

  (x +a)² = x² +2ax +a²

Of note here is that the constant (a²) is the square of half of the x-term coefficient:

  ((2a)/2)² = a²

Completing the square

The given expression (x² +5x) has an x-term coefficient of 5. The square of half that is ...

  (5/2)² = 25/4

The constant that must be added to make x² +5x into a perfect square trinomial is 25/4.

  (x² +5x) +25/4 = x² +5x +25/4 = (x +5/2)²

Answer 2

25/4 is the right answer have a good day :)
