• 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. =)

Answer:
x=4.5.
The slope is undefined. Thus the y variable is irrelevant. It appears as though the line crosses through 4.5 on the x axis making the equation
x = 4.5

Answer:
5(m + 5) (m - 8)
Step-by-step explanation:
5m2- 15m- 200
Start by pulling 5 out.
5(m^2 - 3m - 40)
We consider all factors of 40
1 40
2 20
4 10
5 8
Based on the middle term we know that 5 and 8 are our best option.
5(m 5) (m 8)
We know the signs have to be one + and one - because a - * - = + and + * + = +
Since 5 - 8 would give us -3 we know that our answer is
5(m + 5) (m - 8)
