The given trinomial 4x2+12xy+9y2
is not a perfect square trinomial.
⇒4x2+12xy+9y2
=(2x)2+2×2x×3y+(3y)2
Let 2x=a, 3y=b
⇒a2+2ab+b2
=(a+b)2
=(2x+3y)2
∴The give trinomial is a perfect square trinomial.
In each case, find whether the trinomial is a perfect square or not :
(i) x2+14x+49 (ii) a2−10a+25
(iii) 4x2+4x+1 (iv) 9b2+12b+16
(v) 16x2−16xy+y2 (vi) x2−4x+16
Choose the correct answer.
Which one of the following trinomial is not a perfect square?
