Answer:
Third choice.
Step-by-step explanation:
Trinomial means you have 3 terms.
You don't have 3 terms in first two choices so let's not look at them.
Anything of the form is a perfect square trinomial because it can be written as
.
Let's this this:
Now foil!
First=ax(ax)=a^2x^2
Outer=ax*by=abxy
Inner=by*ax=abxy
Last=by*by=b^2y^2
Add together and this gives you a^2x^2+2abxy+b^2y^2.
So looking at third choice you can write it as 4^2x^2+24xy+3^2y^2.
Is 2*4*3 equal to 24? If it is then you have your answer. It is.
We have our answer.
