Let's just think about what happens when we take the perfect square of a binomial, especially when the coefficient on the x term is not a 1. If we have ax plus b squared, what will this look …

The perfect square concept is important because we could factor any squares, but perfect squares get whole numbers. So I could say that x^2 - 3 factors to (x + √3) (x - √3) which is …

In this article, we'll learn how to factor perfect square trinomials using special patterns. This reverses the process of squaring a binomial, so you'll want to understand that completely …

In this article, we'll learn how to factor perfect square trinomials using special patterns. This reverses the process of squaring a binomial, so you'll want to understand that completely …

Factor quadratic expressions of the general perfect square forms: (ax)²+2abx+b² or (ax)²-2abx+b². The factored expressions have the general forms (ax+b)² or (ax-b)².

In the video, Sal showed us 2 possible answers to factor out the trinomial. So, if I have to answer this question like in a test or something, am I supposed to show the 2 possible answers even …

Completing the square is a technique for factoring quadratics. This article reviews the technique with examples and even lets you practice the technique yourself.

Sal introduces perfect square expressions. For example, (x+7)² is expanded as x²+14x+49.

-- A perfect square has two identical factors, and the result of multiplying the factors is a quadratic trinomial. -- A difference of squares has two factors that have the same start and ending …
