Find the number that must be added to each expression to form a perfect square trinomial. Then write the trinomial as a binomial squared.

ANSWER
Add:
[tex]( { - 12})^{2} [/tex]
The perfect square binomial is
[tex]{(x - 12)}^{2} [/tex]
EXPLANATION
The given expression is;
[tex] {x}^{2} - 24x[/tex]
Add the square of half the coefficient of x.
Thus,
[tex]( - {12})^{2} [/tex]
We add to get,
[tex]{x}^{2} - 24x + 144[/tex]
The perfect square binomial is;
[tex] {(x - 12)}^{2} [/tex]
Answer:
(-12)² is the number that must be added to given expression.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have given a expression.
x²-24x+ ______
We have to find missing number so that the expression become a perfect trinomial.
We use method of perfect square to solve this.
Adding half of the -24 to above equation , we have
x²-24x+(-12)²
x²+2(x)(-12)+(-12)²
(x-12)² which is perfect square .
