You can just 1) multiply the binomial by itself, or you can use 2) the square of a binomial pattern. I'll show it to you both ways.
1) Multiply the binomial by itself.
(3x - 2)^2 = (3x - 2)(3x - 2) =
Multiply every term of the first binomial by every term of the second binomial, then collect like terms. (This is often called using FOIL.)
= 9x^2 - 6x - 6x + 4
= 9x^2 - 12x + 4
2) Use the square of a binomial pattern
The square of a binomial is
(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab - b^2
a^2 is the square of the first term.
b^2 is the square of the second term.
-2ab is the product of the two terms and 2.
You have
(3x - 2)^2,
where the first term is 3x, and the second term is -2
square the first term: 9x^2
square the last term: 4
the product of the terms and 2 is: -12x
Put it all together, and you get
9x^2 - 12x + 4
just like we got above with the other method.
Answer:
17 pounds
Step-by-step explanation:
Median:
Weights of the dogs are:
3 , 8 , 10 , 11 , 14 , 17 , 22 , 24, 25 , 35 , 40
Number of data = 11
So, median will the middle term which is the 6the term.
Median = 17
Q4, 4y²=60
y=√15 ( i am not sure)
q6, (5+y) ²=81
5+y=9
y=4
q7 (x+4) (x) =77
x²+4x-77=0
(x+11) (x-7) =0
x=-11(rej) or x=7
therefore ,length= 7+4=11cm
breadth=7cm
In the given diagram, the traingles USW and UTV are similar triangles and thus the following ratio equality applies to them.
..........(Equation 1)
Checking the diagram given, we see that:
VT=y, WS=22, VU=8, ST=x-2
WU=WV+VU=12+8=20
TU=5
SU=ST+TU=(x-2)+5=x+3
Thus, substituting the required values in (Equation 1) we get:

Now, as can be clearly seen, to find y we will use the first two ratios as:


In a similar manner, to find the value of x we can use the last two ratios:

After cross multiplication we get:

Which can be simplified as:

Thus, 
Therefore, the required answer is:
x=9.5 and y=8.8
