A quadratic polynomial of the form x2+bx+cx^{2}+bx+c is sometimes called a perfect square trinomial. Answer the following questions: (i) Explain, with reasons, how you can determine whether a given quadratic polynomial x2+bx+cx^{2}+bx+c is a perfect square trinomial. (ii) For each of the following polynomials, state whether it is a perfect square trinomial or not. Give a brief justification in each case. (a) x2+10x+25x^{2}+10x+25 (b) x2−18x+81x^{2}-18x+81 (c) x2+7x+12x^{2}+7x+12
