Which trinomials are perfect square trinomials? Select each correct answer. a.y2+20y+100 b.y2+25y+200 c.y2+6y+36 d.y2+18y+81

Verified Answer :

Answer:

Option A :\(y^{2} +20y+100\)

Option D: \(y^{2} +18y+81\)

Step-by-step explanation:

To Find: Which trinomials are perfect square trinomials?

option A :\(y^{2} +20y+100\)

Factorizing:

\(y^{2} +10y+10y+100\)

\(y(y+10)+10(y+10)\)

\((y+10)(y+10)\)

\((y+10)^{2}\)

Hence Option A is perfect square

Option B : \(y^{2} +25y+200\)

Since this cannot be factorized

Hence not a perfect square

Option C: \(y^{2} +6y+36\)

Since this cannot be factorized

Hence not a perfect square

Option D: \(y^{2} +18y+81\)

\(y^{2} +9y+9y+81\)

\(y(y+9)+9(y+9)\)

\((y+9)(y+9)\)

\((y+9)^{2}\)

Hence Option D is a perfect square



The perfect square trinomials from the given options are,

  • \(y^2+20y+100\)
  • \(y^2+18y+81\)

Thus the option a and d is the correct option.

What is perfect square trinomials?

A trinomial which is expressed as the square of the binomial equation is a perfect square trinomials.

  • a) The trinomial given in the option 1 is,

\(y^2+20y+100\)

Split the middle term to make the factor,

\(y^2+10y+10y+100\\y(y+10)+10(y+10)\\(y+10)(y+10)\\(y+10)^2\)

As this trinomial can be expressed as the square of the binomial equation. Thus this is a perfect square trinomials.

  • b) The trinomial given in the option 2 is,

\(y^2+25y+200\)

The above trinomial can not be factorized.

As this trinomial can not be expressed as the square of the binomial equation. Thus this is not a perfect square trinomials.

  • c) The trinomial given in the option 3 is,

\(y^2+6y+36\\\)

The above trinomial can not be factorized.

As this trinomial can not be expressed as the square of the binomial equation. Thus this is not a perfect square trinomials.

  • d) The trinomial given in the option 4 is,

\(y^2+18y+81\)

Split the middle term to make the factor,

\(y^2+9y+9y+81\\y(y+9)+9(y+9)\\(y+9)(y+9)\\(y+9)^2\)

As this trinomial can be expressed as the square of the binomial equation. Thus this is a perfect square trinomials.

Hence the perfect square trinomials from the given options are,

  • \(y^2+20y+100\)
  • \(y^2+18y+81\)

Thus the option a and d is the correct option.
