Answer :
To determine the number that should be added to each expression in order to form a perfect square trinomial and then factor the resulting trinomial, we follow these steps:
1. Identify the coefficient [tex]\( b \)[/tex] of the [tex]\( x \)[/tex] term.
2. Calculate [tex]\( \left(\frac{b}{2}\right)^2 \)[/tex].
3. Add this value to the expression.
4. The resulting trinomial can be factored into a perfect square form.
Let's proceed with each of the given expressions:
### 1. [tex]\( a^2 + 6a + \ \)[/tex]
1. Identify the coefficient [tex]\( b \)[/tex]: [tex]\( b = 6 \)[/tex].
2. Calculate [tex]\( \left(\frac{6}{2}\right)^2 = 3^2 = 9 \)[/tex].
3. Add this value: [tex]\( a^2 + 6a + 9 \)[/tex].
4. The factored form is [tex]\( (a + 3)^2 \)[/tex].
So,
[tex]\[ a^2 + 6a + 9 = (a + 3)^2. \][/tex]
### 2. [tex]\( b^2 - 8b + \ \)[/tex]

So,
[tex]\[ b^2 - 8b + 16 = (b - 4)^2. \][/tex]
