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." "Click here for part 2!"
