HOW do factor perfect square trinomials?

[rare thistle]

i quite literally cannot figure it out

[crisp plume]

Well if you know it’s a perfect square it should be pretty much the same process every time

So what goes wrong when you try to do it?

Adding on. It would be helpful to know where you get stuck and what you can do

[crude moon]

should just be (ax+b)²

so then it becomes a²x² + 2abx + b²

from there just look at the trinomial

[crude moon]

if its a perfect square trinomial you can factor it into that

ok thank you @crude moon
