Factoring

As you know 9 can be written as 3²   25 = 5²   and 49 =    answer
These numbers are known as perfect squares because they have one factor that can be multiplied by itself and your answer will be the original number.   ex.   25 = 5²
Trinomials can be perfect squares    t² + 8t + 16 = (t + 4)(t + 4) = (t + 4)²
r² - 12r + 36 = (r - 6)(r - 6) = (r - 6)²
Try these:

• p² + 14p + 49 = answer
  
• t² - 16t + 64 = answer
  
• 9s² - 24s + 16 = answer
  
• 64b² + 48b + 9 = answer
