121b² - 66b + ___

​Factoring Perfect Square Trinomial

Perfect Square Trinomial = Square of a Binomial

​Structures

a² + 2ab +b² = (a + b)²

​

a² - 2ab +b² = (a - b)²​

​Example

4x² - 44x + 121 = (2x - 11)²​

Multiple Choice

Factor $$9x^2-6x+1$$  

• 3x + 1

• 3x - 1

• (3x + 1)²

• (3x - 1)²

​Factor 9x² - 6x + 1

Multiple Choice

Factor $$5a^2+20a+20$$  

• 5(a + 2)

• 5(a - 2)

• 5(a - 2)²

• 5(a + 2)²

​Factor 5a² + 20a + 20
