Answer:

c = 64

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 16x + c

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to x² - 16x

x² + 2(- 8)x + 64

= (x - 8)²

Thus

x² - 16x + 64 = (x - 8)² ← a perfect square

with c = 64

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 6 = 3

If you want to continue to find the value of x, do this:

7x + 6 - 6 = 3 - 6 = -3, or

7x = -3, or

x = -3/7

For any perfect square trinomial (quadratic), the constant term (last term) must be positive.

Ronch [10]

Answer:

For the perfect square trinomial (quadratic) i.e. $\left(x\:+\:3\right)^2$ , the constant term (last term) is positive.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Perfect square trinomials" are termed as the quadratics that are the outcomes of squaring binomials.

For example:

$\left(x\:+\:3\right)^2$

$\mathrm{Apply\:Perfect\:Square\:Formula}:\quad \left(a+b\right)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

$a=x,\:\:b=3$

$=x^2+2x\cdot \:3+3^2$

$=x^2+6x+9$

Therefore, for the perfect square trinomial (quadratic) i.e. $\left(x\:+\:3\right)^2$ , the constant term (last term) is positive.
