Identify Coefficients: Step Title: Identify the CoefficientsConcise Step Description: Identify the coefficients of the quadratic equation in the form of a perfect square trinomial.Step Calculation: Coefficients are 25, −80, 64.Step Output: Coefficients: 25, −80, 64
Recognize Perfect Square Trinomial: Step Title: Recognize the Perfect Square TrinomialConcise Step Description: Determine if the quadratic is a perfect square trinomial by checking if the first and last terms are perfect squares and if the middle term is twice the product of the square roots of the first and last terms.Step Calculation: The square root of 25d8 is 5d4, and the square root of 64 is 8. The middle term, −80d4, is twice the product of 5d4 and 8, which is 2×5d4×8=80d4. Since the middle term is negative, we have −2×5d4×8=−80d4.Step Output: The quadratic is a perfect square trinomial.
