Full solution

Q. What is the missing constant term in the perfect square that starts with x24x x^{2}-4 x ?\newline \square
  1. Identify Coefficient of xx: To form a perfect square trinomial from x24xx^2 - 4x, we need to add (b2)2(\frac{b}{2})^2, where bb is the coefficient of xx.
  2. Calculate Half of Coefficient: Here, b=4b = -4. So, (b2)2=(42)2=(2)2(\frac{b}{2})^2 = (\frac{-4}{2})^2 = (-2)^2.
  3. Square Half of Coefficient: Calculating (2)2(-2)^2 gives us 44.
  4. Determine Missing Constant Term: So, the missing constant term is 44.
