Louise Completed The Work Shown Below., (5x3 + 3)2 = (5x3)2 + (3)2 = 25x6 + 9, Determine If Louise2019s Answer Is Correct. Explain.
Louise completed the work shown below.
(5x3 + 3)2 = (5x3)2 + (3)2 = 25x6 + 9
Determine if Louise's answer is correct. Explain.
Answer:
(5x³ + 3)² = 25x⁶ + 30x³ + 9
The product of a square of binomial is a perfect square trinomial.
Louises answer "25x⁶ + 9" is not correct.
Step-by-step explanation:
(5x³ + 3)² ⇒ a square of binomial
= (5x³ + 3)(5x³ + 3)
= 25x⁶ + 15x³ + 15x³ + 9
= 25x⁶ + 30x³ + 9
Louises answer is NOT correct because she only multiplied the first terms and last terms, hence her answer "25x⁶ + 9".
In solving for the product of the square of binomial, this is the pattern:
(a) Square the first term ⇒ (5x³) (5x³) = 25x⁶
(b) Twice the product of (first term) and (last term) ⇒ 2 (5x³)(3) = 30x³
(c) Square the last term ⇒ (30(3) = 9
Combine the results ⇒ 25x⁶ + 30x³ + 9 ⇒ a perfect square trinomial
The product of a square of binomial is a perfect square trinomial.
