Question

The geometric model represents a perfect square trinomial use the drop-down menus identify the two factors

Answer 1

Answer:

the answer is (x-4) and (x-4) on edge

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

Factor 1 is (x-4) and Factor 2 is (x-4).

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given geometric model it clear that we have 1 box of x², 8 boxes of -x and 16 boxes +. So, the perfect square trinomial represented by the given geometric model is

$x^2-8x+16$

It can be rewritten as

$x^2-2(4)x+4^2$

Using formula of perfect square trinomial, we get

$(x-4)^2$                    $[\because (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2]$

$(x-4)(x-4)$

Therefore the Factor 1 is (x-4) and Factor 2 is (x-4).
