There are 10 equally spaced points around the circle. at 9 points, there are sheep, and at one point, there is a wolf. at each time step, the wolf moves clockwise with probability p or counterclockwise with probability 1-p by 1 point. if there is a sheep at that point, the wolf eats it. the sheep don't move. what is the probability that the sheep who is initially behind the wolf is the last one remaining?

the polynomial is a perfect square trinomial of the form a^2-2ab+b^2:

option a. true

step-by-step explanation:

9x^2-12x+4

comparing with the form a^2-2ab+b^2

1.) a^2=9x^2

solving for a: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(a^2)=sqrt(9x^2)

a=sqrt(9) sqrt(x^2)

a=3x

2.) b^2=4

solving for b: square root both sides of the equation:

sqrt(b^2)=sqrt(4)

b=2

to be a perfet square trinomial 2ab must be equal to 12x. let's check:

2ab = 2 (3x) (2)

2ab = 12x

correct
