hey if possible can someone solve and explain this question?? i never learned it but need it for a packet due tomorrow and i’m just really confused.

the answer is 1/4

step-by-step explanation:

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct

all you have to do is multiply them both to see how many out comes you can put:

3 x 2 = 6

you can make 6 diferent combinations of crusts and toppings.

the square root of 16 is 4.

4*4 = 16
