ANSWER

C. Factoring a perfect square trinomial.

EXPLANATION

The first step shown is:

{x}^{2}  +  \frac{b}{a}x + ( \frac{b}{2a} )^{2}  =  -  \frac{c}{a} + ( \frac{b}{2a} )^{2}

Observe that the left hand side is a perfect square trinomial.

In other words, the left hand side is of the form,

{m}^{2}  + 2mn +  {n}^{2}

which can be factored as:

{m}^{2}  + 2mn +  {n}^{2}  =  {(m + n)}^{2}

When we factor the perfect square trinomial on the left hand side, we obtain:

( x  + \frac{b}{2a} )^{2}  =  -  \frac{c}{a} + ( \frac{b}{2a} )^{2}

The correct answer is C

Nutka1998 [239]
If you divide 100 by 25 you will get 4. Then you multiply 4 and 2, which will get you 8. So, it will take her 8 weeks to pay her parents.
