Question

Expand and combine like terms. (3c^4-5c^6)^2

Answer 1

Answer:

$9c^{8} -30c^{10} + 25c^{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use formula (a-b)² = a² -2ab + b².

In our example a = 3c^4 and b = 5c^6

$(3c^{4} - 5c^{6})^{2} = [3c^{4} ]^{2} - 2*3c^{4} *5c^{6} + [5c^{6}]^{2}=\\=9c^{8} -30c^{10} + 25c^{12}$
