Determine what to add to make the trinomial a perfect square. x2+8x+___

16

Step-by-step explanation:

For a perfect square each factor is identical.

Now, we have to find a number that adds to get 8.

The only option is (x+4)(x+4). When you distribute, you get x²+8x+16.

Now, we know that the missing number is 16.

10a^3+277a^2-132a-792

step-by-step explanation:

(2a+11)(5a-12)(foil)

=10a^2-24a+55a-132 =10a^2+31a-132

(10a^2+31a-132)(a+6)

=10a^3+60a^2+31a^2+186a^2-132a-792 =10a^3+277a^2-132a-792
