c = 16
x^2 + 8x + 16
(x+4) ^2
jennie
c is 16
(x+a)^2 = x^2 + 2ax + b^2
x^2 + 8x + c is perfect square trinomial
so we can write, x^2 + 2* 1* 4x + 4^2
so c = 16

SO x squared+8x+c=perfect quare trinomial
Xsquare+8x=perfect square trinomial - c
8xsquared=perfect square trinomial - c (whatever this is suppose to be)
8Xsquared divided by perfect square trinomial - c (whatever this is suppose to be)
SO after you should be getting 16
Good Luck

(x + a)^2 = x^2 + 2a x + a^2
x^2+8x+c
8 = 2a : a = 4 so c = a^2 = 16
