    Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials
    What is a perfect square?
    If a number is squared the result is a perfect square.
    Example 22=4
    4 is a perfect square.
    Other examples:
    32=9 or 42=16
    9 is a perfect square.
    16 is a perfect square.
    Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials
    Here is a list of the perfect squares for the numbers 1-30.
    12=1 112=121 212=441
    22=4 122=144 222=484
    32=9 132=169 232=529
    42=16 142=196 242=576
    52=25 152=225 252=625
    62=36 162=256 262=676
    72=49 172=289 272=729
    82=64 182=324 282=784
    92=81 192=361 292=841
    102=100 202=400 302=900
    Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials
    When a variable is raised to an even power it is a
    perfect square.

    Example: (x)(x)= x2

    x2 is a perfect square.

    (x3)(x3)= x6 or (x5)(x5)= x10

    x6 and x10 are both perfect squares.


    Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials
    If a number or a variable is a perfect square the square root
    of the quantity is the number or variable that was squared
    to get the perfect square.
    Example: Square 9.
    9x9 = 81
    81 is the perfect square.
    9 is the square root of 81.
    Example: Square x3
    (x3) (x3) = x6 or (x3)2 = x6
    x6 is the perfect square.
    x3 is the square root of x6
    Factoring Perfect Square Trinomials
    • Now we are ready to understand the term-
    perfect square trinomial.
    • The trinomial that results from squaring a
    binomial is a perfect square trinomial.
    • Example: (x+7)2 = x2+14x+49
    • x2+14x+49 is a perfect square trinomial.
    • We know that a perfect square trinomial
    always results when a binomial is squared.
    • The reverse is also true.
    • When we factor a perfect square trinomial the
    result is always a squared binomial.
    Review: Multiply (y + 2)2
    Do you remember these?
    (y + 2)(y + 2) (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
    (a - b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2

    First terms:y2
    Using the formula,
    Outer terms:+2y (y + 2)2 = (y)2 + 2(y)(2) + (2)2
    Inner terms:+2y (y + 2) 2 = y2 + 4y + 4

    Last terms: +4 Which one is quicker?


    Combine like terms.
    y2 + 4y + 4
    1) Factor x2 + 6x + 9
    Does this fit the form of our Perfect Square Trinomials
    perfect square trinomial? (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
    1) Is the first term a perfect (a - b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
    square?
    Yes, a = x Since all three are true,
    2) Is the last term a perfect write your answer!
    square? (x + 3)2
    Yes, b = 3
    3) Is the middle term twice the
    You can still
    product of the a and b? factor the other way
    Yes, 2ab = 2(x)(3) = 6x but this is quicker!
    2) Factor y2 – 16y + 64
    Does this fit the form of our Perfect Square Trinomials
    perfect square trinomial? (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
    1) Is the first term a perfect (a - b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
    square?
    Yes, a = y Since all three are true,
    2) Is the last term a perfect write your answer!
    square? (y – 8)2
    Yes, b = 8
    3) Is the middle term twice the
    product of the a and b?
    Yes, 2ab = 2(y)(8) = 16y

    1. (m – 6)(m + 6)
    2. (m – 6)2
    3. (m + 6)2
    4. (m – 18)2
    3) Factor 4p2 + 4p + 1
    Does this fit the form of our Perfect Square Trinomials
    perfect square trinomial? (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
    1) Is the first term a perfect (a - b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
    square?
    Yes, a = 2p Since all three are true,
    2) Is the last term a perfect write your answer!
    square? (2p + 1)2
    Yes, b = 1
    3) Is the middle term twice the
    product of the a and b?
    Yes, 2ab = 2(2p)(1) = 4p
    4) Factor 25x2 – 110xy + 121y2
    Does this fit the form of our
    Perfect Square Trinomials
    perfect square trinomial? (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
    1) Is the first term a perfect (a - b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2
    square?
    Yes, a = 5x Since all three are true,
    2) Is the last term a perfect write your answer!
    square? (5x – 11y)2
    Yes, b = 11y
    3) Is the middle term twice the
    product of the a and b?
    Yes, 2ab = 2(5x)(11y) = 110xy
    Factor 9k2 + 12k + 4
    1. (3k + 2)2
    2. (3k – 2)2
    3. (3k + 2)(3k – 2)
    4. I’ve got no
    clue…I’m lost!
    Factor 2r2 + 12r + 18
    1. prime
    2. 2(r2 + 6r + 9)
    3. 2(r – 3)2
    4. 2(r + 3)2
    5. 2(r – 3)(r + 3)
    Don’t forget to factor the
    GCF first!
