Question

What is (3x+1)^2 simplified

Answer 1

=9x^2+6x+1
(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

Answer 2

ask your math teacher why
\[(3x+1)^2\] is more or less "simple" than
\[9x^2+6x+1\]

Answer 3

ok maybe don't. but i would love to know the answer. for example if i wanted to solve
\[9x^2+6x+1=0\] it would surely be a lot "simpler" if i started with
\[(3x+1)^2=0\] there is no such thing as "simpler" in mathematics, especially not in this case!

Answer 4

hahha lol :D :D Yea I want to know the answer of tht q too :)
