Answer:

(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2} = x^2 -\frac{4}{5}x + \frac{4}{25}

Step-by-step explanation:

You have two methods to expand this binomial.

Method 1  

If you have the expression:

(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2}

You can write the expression it in the following way:

(x-\frac{2}{5})^{2}=(x-\frac{2}{5})(x-\frac{2}{5})

Then, apply the distributive property:

(x-\frac{2}{5})(x-\frac{2}{5}) = x^2 -\frac{2}{5}x -\frac{2}{5}x+ (\frac{2}{5})\frac{2}{5}

Simplify the expression:

(x-\frac{2}{5})^2= x^2 -\frac{4}{5}x+ (\frac{4}{25})

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Method 2

For any expression of the form:

(a-b)^2

Its expanded form will be:

(a-b)^2= a^2 -2ab + b^2

If

a = x

b =\frac{2}{5}

(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2} = x^2 - 2x\frac{2}{5} + (\frac{2}{5})^2

(x- \frac{2}{5})^{2} = x^2 -\frac{4}{5}x + \frac{4}{25}
