Determine whether ___ is a perfect square trinomial. If so, choose the correct factorization.

• yes; (n-5)^2

• yes; (n+4)^2

• no

• yes; (n+5)(n-5)

Is ____ completely factored? if not, what other factoring can occur?

• no; 4 can be factored from each of the trinomial

• no; the trinomial 4x^2+8x+12 can be factored into two binomials

• yes; the polynomial is completely factored.

• no; 4 can be factored from each term of the trinomial AND the resulting trinomial can be factored into two binomials.
