question 4

Multiple Choice

Add the proper constant to the binomial so that the resulting trinomial is a perfect square trinomial. Then factor the
trinomial.
- $$x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 4 } { 9 } x$$

• A) \(x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 4 } { 9 } x + \frac { 2 } { 81 } = \left( x + \frac { 2 } { 9 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
• B) \(x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 4 } { 9 } x + \frac { 4 } { 9 } = \left( x + \frac { 2 } { 9 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
• C) \(x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 4 } { 9 } x + \frac { 4 } { 81 } = \left( x + \frac { 2 } { 9 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
• D) \(x ^ { 2 } + \frac { 4 } { 9 } x + \frac { 8 } { 81 } = \left( x + \frac { 4 } { 9 } \right) ^ { 2 }\)
