If b, c, and d are constants and \(x^2 + bx + c = (x + d)^2\) for all values of x, what is the value
of c?
(1) d = 3
(2) b = 6

[Reveal] Spoiler: Comment
I got A instead of OA D
could you explain me please why it so?



ok here is what i think is the reasoning ...

expand the eqn ..\(x^2 + bx + c = x^2 + 2dx + d^2\)

cancelling the first term and comparing like terms we get

\(bx = 2dx << i.e. >>

b=2d\)

and\(c = d^2\)

now check the options we'd get both A and B to suffice ....
hanks. I forgot
