Question

Write the value of c that makes x^2+12x+c a perfect square trinomial.

Answer 1

Answer:

c = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula (b/2)^2 to solve for the max or min.

ax^2 + bx + c

b = 12

(12/2)^2

6^2 = 36

You can check you work

y = x^2 + 12x + 36

y = (x + 6) (x + 6) It works!
