Answer:
Option D. It's a perfect square trinomial.
Step-by-step explanation:
(a) 36x² - 4x + 16
= (6x)² - 2(2x) + (4)²
It's not a perfect square trinomial
(b) 16x² - 8x + 36
= (4x)² - 2x(4x) + (6)²
It's not a perfect square trinomial
(c) 25x² + 9x + 4
= (5x)² + 2 + (2)²
It's not a perfect square trinomial
(d) 4x² + 20x + 25
= (2x)² + 2(10x) + (5)²
= (2x+5)²
It's a perfect square trinomial.
Note: Consider we need to find the factor form of the given expression by taking out the GCF.
Given:
The expression is:
To find:
The factor form of the given expression.
Solution:
We have,
It can be written as:
Taking out the greatest common factor (GCF), we get
Therefore, the factor form of the given expression is .
Answer:
148°
Step-by-step explanation:
The measure of the intercepted arc QN is twice the measure of inscribed angle QNT.
arc QN = 2(74°) = 148°
_____
<em>Comment on the question and answer</em>
Your description "on the circle between points Q and N" is ambiguous. You used the same description for both points P and R. The interpretation we used is shown in the attachment. If point P is on the long arc NQ, then the measure of arc QPN will be the difference between 148° and 360°, hence 212°. You need to choose the answer that matches the diagram you have.

We call angle QNT an "inscribed angle" because it is a degenerate case of an inscribed angle. The usual case has the vertex of the angle separate from the ends of the arc it intercepts. In the case of a tangent meeting a chord, the vertex is coincident with one of the ends of the intercepted arc. The relation between angle measure and arc measure remains the same: 1 : 2.
