Verified Answer :

16x² - 8x + 1 = (4x)² - 2 · 4x · 1 + 1² =(4x - 1)²

Used: (a - b)² = a² -2ab + b²

Answer:

\(16x^2-8x+1=(4x-1)^2\)  is a perfect square trinomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomials

\(49x^2-8x+16\\\\4a^2-10a+25\\\\25b^2-5b+10\\\\16x^2-8x+1\\\)

We have to choose the polynomial  that is a perfect square trinomial.

  • Trinomial is the polynomial having three terms.
  • Perfect square trinomial are those polynomial having three terms and can be written as a perfect square that is in the form of \((a\pm b)^2\)

Consider the given polynomials

Since, all have three terms so, every  given polynomial is trinomial.

and for perfect square consider \(16x^2-8x+1\)

This can be written as \(16x^2-8x+1=(4x)^2-2\cdot 4x\cdot 1+(1)^2\)

We know the algebraic identity, \((a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\)

On comparing a = 4x and b = 1

Thus, \(16x^2-8x+1=(4x-1)^2\)

Thus, \(16x^2-8x+1=(4x-1)^2\)  is a perfect square trinomial.
