Study the products shown. Is there a pattern?(x + 3)2 = x2 + 6x + 9(x + 4)2 = x2 + 8x + 16(x + 5)2 = x2 + 10x + 25(x + 6)2 = x2 + 12x + 36Each product is in the form ax2 + bx + c.Which of the following describes the relationship between b and c?c is 1.5 times that of b.c is double b.c is the square of half of b.c is the square of b.
Question
Answer:
c is the square of half of b.This is evident in all products,
(6/2)² = 3²
= 9
(8/2)² = 4²
= 16
(10/2)² = 5²
= 25
(12/2)² = 6²
= 36
(b/2)² = c
