Question

Determine the missing term from the perfect square trinomial. Show ALL work. x2 − ______+ 36

Answer 1

Answer:

12x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the perfect square trinomial: $x^2-()+36$

Written in the form $(x+k)^2$

$x^2-()+36=x^2-()+6^2=(x-6)^2$

$(x-6)^2=(x-6)(x-6)\\=x^2-6x-6x+36\\=x^2-12x+36$

The missing term therefore is 12x.
