Question

I don't get this one too can someone explain it please

Answer 1

Answer:

15ab

Step-by-step explanation:

When you multiply out the square (p+q)^2, you get the trinomial ...

(p +q)^2 = p^2 + 2pq + q^2

Your binomial is (3a+2.5b), so you have ...

p = 3a

q = 2.5b

and the trinomial you get when you multiply it out is ...

(3a)^2 + 2(3a)(2.5b) + (2.5b)^2

= 9a^2 + 15ab + 6.25b^2

The first and last of these terms are shown on the right side of the given expression, so to finish out the identity, you need to replace * with 15ab.
