Answer

$=x^2+22x+121$ $=(x+11)^2$

Work Step by Step

The given expression is $=x^2+22x$ Find the value of $(\frac{b}{2})^2$. Substitute $2$ for $b$. $=(\frac{22}{2})^2$ Simplify. $=(11)^2$ $=121$ Add $121$ to the given expression. $=x^2+22x+121$ Write the the polynomial as $a^2+2ab+b^2$. $=x^2+2(x)(11)+(11)^2$ Use perfect square trinomial pattern $a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2$ We have $a=x$ and $b=11$. $=(x+11)^2$
