Part 1
"Here we go this first part is on how to determine whether a trinomial is a perfect square trinomial." "Let's do an example." "Now what you want to do is break up the A and C terms like this."
x^2 + 12x + 36
x.x
6.6
"This next bit is so simple even you can understand it Jeremy." "Look here."
2(x . 6)
"The trick to seeing whether a trinomial is a perfect square trinomial is, first of all making sure that the first, and last terms are perfect squares." "Then make sure that the middle term, is two times one factor of the first term, and one from the last term." "So when you multiply 2(x . 6) x . 6 is 6x times two is 12x so we are correct."
