Answer:
b=4 makes the equation a perfect square.
Step-by-step explanation:
As long as you factorize out the equation, you'll get a result of (x+2)^2. This multiplied using foil gives you, x^2 + 2x + 4. Making it a perfect square. You could also have -2 = b which makes a perfect square, but that's not in the options.
Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
The constant term 4 is obtained by
adding (half the coefficient of the x- term)²
4 = 2²
Then b = 4
x² + 4x + 4 = (x + 2)² ← a perfect square
