A perfect square is an expression in this form:

(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

So, we have two perfect squares, and twice the product of the roots.

We have the two perfect squares: x^2 is the square of x, and 4 is the square of 2.

So, our perfect square can be completed in one of the two following ways:

x^2-4x+4 = (x-2)^2,\quad x^2+4x+4 = (x+2)^2

Answer: 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula: a^2+2ab+b^2.

So in this case our a^2 is x^2. our b^2 is 4.

To find the middle term (2ab) we do 2*x*2 = 4x
