Full solution

Q. x2+12x+36 x^{2}+12 x+36
  1. Recognize Quadratic Expression: Recognize the quadratic expression x2+12x+36x^2 + 12x + 36 as a perfect square trinomial.\newlineCalculate the factors of the constant term (36)(36) that add up to the coefficient of the xx term (12)(12).
  2. Calculate Factors: Notice that 6+6=126 + 6 = 12 and 6×6=366 \times 6 = 36. Write the expression as (x+6)(x+6)(x + 6)(x + 6) or (x+6)2(x + 6)^2.
  3. Write as Perfect Square Trinomial: Check the factoring by expanding (x+6)2(x + 6)^2 to ensure it equals the original expression.\newline(x+6)2=x2+26x+62=x2+12x+36(x + 6)^2 = x^2 + 2\cdot6\cdot x + 6^2 = x^2 + 12x + 36, which matches the original expression.
