<span>Given a function, if you suspect a root lies near a specific point on the number line, you can evaluate the function at several nearby values and see whether the evaluation is positive or negative. Using a calculator, you should find two real numbers that are at distance 0.01 from one another, such that one real number evaluates positive, and the other evaluates negative. Then the interval between these values contains a root.</span>
Answer:
Two angles are called supplementary when their measures add up to 180 degrees.
• Expand (2a + b)²:
(2a + b)²
= (2a + b) · (2a + b)
Multiply out the brackets by applying the distributive property of multiplication:
= (2a + b) · 2a + (2a + b) · b
= 2a · 2a + b · 2a + 2a · b + b · b
= 2²a² + 2ab + 2ab + b²
Now, group like terms together, and you get
= 2²a² + 4ab + b²
= 4a² + 4ab + b² <——— expanded form (this is the answer).
I hope this helps. =)
