The expansion of a perfect square is
In words, the square of a sum of two terms is the sum of the squares of the two terms ( and
), plus twice the product of the two terms (
)
So, when determining if you have a perfect square trinomial, you should have two perfect squares. Note that they don't have to be the first and third term, since you can rearrange terms as you prefer.
We have to solve this quadratic equation for n to get <em>which figure has 56 blocks</em>.
For middle term factorization, we need <em>two numbers that multiplied gives us -56 and added gives us 1 (coefficient of n).</em>
<em>Such two numbers are </em><em>8</em><em> and </em><em>-7</em><em>. We can now write,</em>
<em></em>
<u><em>"There is no negative figure number possible, so we disregard -8"</em></u>
Our answer is 7.
ANSWER: The 7th figure has 56 blocks.
