Math Problem Statement
Solution
The question in your image is asking you to complete the expressions so they form "trinomios cuadrados perfectos" (perfect square trinomials). To solve this, we follow a specific rule for perfect square trinomials:
For an expression like to be a perfect square trinomial, the value of must be .
Let's solve each expression from the image:
a.
For this to be a perfect square, the middle term should be , so the missing term is 14x.
b.
For this to be a perfect square, the middle term should be , so the missing term is -2x.
c.
Here . To complete the square: So the missing term is 25.
d.
For this to be a perfect square, the middle term should be , so the missing term is 12x.
e.
Here . To complete the square: So the missing term is 9.
f.
Here . To complete the square: So the missing term is 64.
g.
Here . To complete the square: So the missing term is 81.
h.
For this to be a perfect square, the middle term should be , so the missing term is 22x.
