Factor using the pattern.
Determine whether is a perfect square trinomial. If so, factor it.1. Is the first term a perfect square? Yes,
2. Is the last term a perfect square? Yes,3. Is the middle term equal to ? No,
Answer: is not a perfect square trinomial.
Determine whether each trinomial is a perfect square trinomial. If so, factor it.

Answer: not a perfect square trinomial
Answer: yes;
Factor .First check for a GCF. Then, since the polynomial has two terms, check for the difference of squares.
6 is the GCF.
and
Factor the difference of squares.
Answer:
Factor .
This polynomial has three terms that have a GCF of 1. While the first term is a perfect square,the last term is not. Therefore, this is not a perfect square trinomial.
This trinomial is in the form Are there two numbers m and n whose product is and whose sum is 8? Yes, the product of 20 and –12 is –240 and their sum is 8.
Write the pattern.
and
Group terms with common factors.
Factor out the GCF from each grouping.
