The document provides instructions on factoring perfect square trinomials, which are polynomials where the first and last terms are perfect squares and the middle term is twice the product of the square roots of the first and last terms. It outlines the expected steps to factor a perfect square trinomial as getting the square root of the first and last terms and checking if the middle term matches twice the product of the square roots. Examples are given to have students practice identifying and factoring perfect square trinomials.

- What have you observed with the
expressions obtained? - What kind of polynomial are they? - What is perfect square trinomial? A perfect square trinomial is an expression with both first and last terms that are perfect squares and the middle term is twice the product of the square root of first term and last term. The following are the expected steps in getting the factors of a perfect square trinomial.
Step 1: Get the square root of
the first term and last term. Step 2: Get the product of 2, first term and last term to check if the middle is the same. The following are the expected steps in getting the factors of a perfect square trinomial.
