✏️{\huge{\blue{\mathbb{\underline{\underline{Question}}}}}}✏️

Which of the following trinomials can be represented by a rectangle?

a. {y}^{2} + 3y +12

b. {y}^{2} + 12y + 5

c. {y}^{2} +8y + 15

d.{y}^{2}+ 14y +3

For being a rectangle:

A trinomial have to be two DIFFERENT terms;

One as LENGTH of the rectangle.

Second as breadth of the rectangle.

✏️{\huge{\blue{\mathbb{\underline{\underline{Solution}}}}}}✏️

So, let's factorise each trinomial to check which is a rectangle;

a. {y}^{2} + 3y +12

✈️This term can't be factorise as we don't get any FACTORS by multiplying FIRST and last term✈️

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

b. {y}^{2} + 12y + 5

✈️This term also can't be factorise as here also we don't get any factors by multiplying first and last term✈️

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

c. {y}^{2} +8y + 15

=>{y}^{2}+5y+3y+15

=>y(y+5)+3(y+5)

=>(y+5)(y+3)

As, here we get two terms as one as length (y+5) and one as breadth (y+3);

So,this trinomial is represented by a rectangle.
