Answer:
49
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the monomial y²-14y, in order to make the binomial a perfect square, we need to add a constant to the function using completing the square method.
To get the constant, we will multiply the coefficient of y by 1/2 and then square the resulting value.
- The coefficient of y is -14.
multiplying the coefficient of y by 1/2 will give -14/2 = -7
- squaring -7 will result in (-7)²
= 49
The constant that will be added to the binomial to make it a perfect square trinomial is 49
