LEARNING TASK NO. 2: PRACTICE YOUR UNDERSTANDING!
DIRECTIONS: Answer the questions below. Show your solution /computation to every
problem which requires one on a 1 whole sheet of paper.
Activity 2 LET'S INVESTIGATE!
Description: This activity will help you visualize the pattern of a perfect square
trinomial.
Observe how the expressions below are factored and observe the relationships
of the term with each other.
a. n² + 16 + 64 = (n + 8)² b. 25/2 + 10 + 1 = (5t + 1)²
c. 412²-12r +9= (2r- 3)²
?
1. What can you say about the first term of the factors and to the first term
of the given trinomial?
2. What can you say about the last term of the factors and to the last term
of the given trinomial?
3. Compare the middle sign of the trinomial to the middle sign of the
factors. What did you observed?
4. How was the polynomial factored?
5. What pattern is seen in the factors of the perfect square trinomials?
