Question

Solve: (3𝑥 − 4)2

hintHint:

The methods used to find the product of binomials are called special products.
Multiplying a number by itself is often called squaring.
For example (x + 3)(x + 3) = (x + 3)2

The correct answer is: 16.


    (3𝑥 − 4)2 can be written as  (3𝑥 − 4) (3𝑥 − 4)
    (3𝑥 − 4) (3𝑥 − 4) = 3𝑥(3𝑥 − 4) −4(3𝑥 − 4)

    =  3𝑥(3𝑥) -  3𝑥(4) - 4(3𝑥) - 4(-4)

    = 9𝑥2 - 12𝑥 - 12𝑥 + 16

    = 9𝑥2 - 24𝑥 + 16
    Final Answer:
    Hence, the simplified form of (3𝑥 − 4)2 is 9𝑥2 - 24𝑥 + 16.
     

    This question can be easily solved by using the formula
    (a - b)2 = a2 - 2ab + b2
