2. Given 4x² + bx + 25, select a possible b value that will make this factorable. [A] b=-50 [B] b = -29 [C] b = 10 [D] b= 100​

Sagot :

Answer:

b = 40 and -40

General form of Perfect square trinomial is

a

2

+

Therefore from

−

b

x

+

25

a

x

2

,

b

2

=

, then

a

=

±

,

b

=

take consideration a=4x and b=-5 (different sign), then

−

The perfect square is

(

if we consider a=4x and b=5 (same sign), then
