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: 1 gallon
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Using the equation (12*18)-(7*3), where 12*18 is the area of the wall, 7*3 is the area of the door not being painted, you are left with 196 square ft. of wall. further dividing 196/200 is 0.98, meaning that Mr. Smith will only need one gallon of paint for his wall.
[(12*18)-(7*3)]/200
(215-21)/200
196/200
0.98
Yes because 84+45 is 129 and 3(28+15) is 129
The two triangles will be similar (same shape, and each side of one triangle the same multiple of the corresponding side of the other triangle), but not necessarily the same size.
The key word here is "similar;" be sure you understand what that means in trig.
