Question 17:
Show that 9x2−30x+259x^2 - 30x + 25 is a perfect square.

A perfect square trinomial has the form (ax±b)2=(ax)2±2(ax)(b)+b2(ax \pm b)^2 = (ax)^2 \pm 2(ax)(b) + b^2.
We can rewrite the given expression:

9x2−30x+259x^2 - 30x + 25

Step 1: Identify the square roots of the first and last terms.
The first term is 9x29x^2, which is (3x)2(3x)^2. So, a=3xa = 3x.
The last term is 25, which is (5)2(5)^2. So,
