I need help with math! (Trinomials)?

Hi I need help with trinomials!! I’m supposed to find if a polynomial is a trinomial, and if it is, I have to factor it. I just need help with 2 problems : x squared + 14x + 49 and a squared + 6a + 9

THANK YOU!!

if it’s a trinomial it has 3 terms

those are all trinomials

factor:

x^2 + 14x + 49

(x +7)(x+7)

also (x + 7)^2

factor:

a^2 + 6a + 9

(a + 3) (a + 3)

also (a + 3)^2

These are trinomials because they have 3 parts.

They can be factored.

1) ( x + 7)(x + 7)

2) (a + 3)(a + 3)

If you have to prove your work, then check these by multiplying them using the FOIL method and you should get the original trinomials.
