select the polynomial that is a perfect square trinomial. 49x2 − 8x 16 4a2 − 10a 25 25b2 − 5b 10 16x2 −8x 1
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.
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.
