X^2+2x+1
X^2-2x+1
4x^2+12x+16
4x^2-12x-9

ANSWER

[tex] {x}^{2} - 2x + 1[/tex]

and

[tex] {x}^{2} + 2x + 1[/tex]

EXPLANATION

A perfect square trinomial can be written in the form:

[tex](a - b) ^{2} = {a}^{2} - 2(ab) + {b}^{2} [/tex]

or

[tex](a + b) ^{2} = {a}^{2} + 2(ab) + {b}^{2} [/tex]

For the first option;

[tex](x + 1) ^{2} = {x}^{2} + 2(x)(1)) + {1}^{2} [/tex]

This is a perfect square trinomial.

For the second option,

[tex](x - 1)^{2} = {x}^{2} - 2(x)(1)) + {1}^{2} [/tex]

This is also a perfect square trinomial.

The third option

[tex]4 {x}^{2} + 12x + 16[/tex]

This cannot be written as a perfect square.

[tex]4 {x}^{2} - 12x - 9[/tex]

This cannot also be written as a perfect square.
