State the vaule or values of "k" if any, for which the given polynomial is a trinomial sqaure.

p to the second power + kp +100

-----------------------------------------------

Thanks.

umm *thinks* well wouldn't it be like

kp to the third +100? Cause you can't add kp to 100 cause it's not of the same kind..ugh...er..erm..wait Jenny don't like erm..but I don't think that's right I dunno I'mc onfuzzeled now. All in one post too.

You can't add P to the second and kp because P doesn't have an exponent. And the question asks for values of "k..."

And yes... I don't like "erm."

I didn't think you could have a trinomial square? *shrugs* Perhaps it has no value?

LOL, there is... ('Cause my teacher says so...)

You can't beleive ANYTHING in these textbooks nowadays, the pharse, "if any" is just to get you all excited and stuff, LOL.

Okay.. Got the answer.

p to the second power + kp + 100
Sqaure root of p to the second = p
square root of 100 = 10
p*2*10 = kp

So, k= 20.

That, my friend, is why I do not take Greek as an elective!

Ya know, I used to actually know how to do problems like that. How easily we forget...

I wasn't even close. I like tried to factor something and make it equal 0....Don't mind me. I suck.

LOL, naaah.

I hope I don't offend anybody with this question. What the hell kind of math is that?!

You can tell I was such a slacker in high school. I took all the easy Math classes, so I'm really a ditz when it comes to harder math. lol
