Answer: Rico is right.

(-1)(3x + 5)²

Step-by-step explanation: If it were the difference of two squares, the -30x would not be there.

It makes sense to factor out (-1) fry the trinomial, leaving all positive terms.

Then factor 9x² + 30x + 25 as

(3x + 5)²

What is 2x times x squared?

We want to multiply the monomial $2x$ by the monomial $2x^2$ .

Remember that to multiply monomials we need to use the laws of exponents; in this case, the law for multiplying powers with the same base. The rule says that, when you multiply powers of the same base, you just need to add the exponents: $(a^m)(a^n)=a^{m+n}$ , $(x^2)(x^4)=x^{2+4}=x^6$ . Also, is worth pointing out that the exponent of a variable with no exponent is 1: $x=x^1$ .

Remember that we also need to multiply their coefficients , which are the numbers that multiply the variables; again, variables with no numbers have a coefficient of 1, so $x=1x$ . Multiply coefficients is easy, you just need to multiply them as you usually do with everyday numbers.
