Answer:
The correct answer is c. c is the square of half of b.
Step-by-step explanation:
In all perfect square trinomials, half of the middle number squared gives you the constant. See the example below for proof.
(x + 4)^2
(x + 4)(x + 4)
x^2 + 4x + 4x + 16
x^2 + 8x + 16
You'll notice if you take the middle term (8), cut it in half (4) and then square it (16), the result is the constant.
