Question

Expand each expression A ( x+1)^2 B(x-3)^2. C ( x+4)^2 D (x-1/2)^2

Answer 1

The expanded expressions are shown below:

1. (x + 1)² = x² + 2 · x + 1
2. (x - 3)² = x² - 6 · x + 9
3. (x + 4)² = x² + 8 · x + 16
4. (x - 1/2)² = x² - x + 1/4
5. 3 · (x - 5)² = 3 · (x² - 10 · x + 25) = 3 · x² - 30 · x + 75
6. (1/2) · (x - 2)² = (1/2) · (x² - 4 · x + 4) = (1/2) · x² - 2 · x + 2

How to expand perfect square trinomials

Perfect square trinomials are polynomials of grade 2 with the form (a + b)² = a² + 2 · a · b + b². In this case, we have to expand six perfect square trinomials:

a) (x + 1)² = x² + 2 · x + 1

b) (x - 3)² = x² - 6 · x + 9

c) (x + 4)² = x² + 8 · x + 16

d) (x - 1/2)² = x² - x + 1/4

e) 3 · (x - 5)² = 3 · (x² - 10 · x + 25) = 3 · x² - 30 · x + 75

f) (1/2) · (x - 2)² = (1/2) · (x² - 4 · x + 4) = (1/2) · x² - 2 · x + 2
