Answer 17

ya

Answer 18

i knew! :)

Answer 19

:) you rock

Answer 20

:D
YaY!

Answer 21

Perform the indicated operation.

(2x + y)2

Answer 22

(2x + y)(2x + y)

Answer 23

multiply them!

Answer 24

so it would be (4x+y^2)?

Answer 25

nope

Answer 26

Nah!

Answer 27

hellllp

Answer 28

Foil or distribute them. What is the first term (4x * 4x)

Answer 29

16x^2

Answer 30

polpak, its 2x

Answer 31

correct.

Now the inner terms 2x * y

Answer 32

2xy

Answer 33

foil: first inner outer last
multiply the first terms, multiply the inner terms, multiply the outer terms, multiply the last terms, and add them all together!

Answer 34

right, and the outer term will be the same. then the last term is y*y

Answer 35

actually polpak's got u covered. let him/her explain

Answer 36

So the sum will be 4x^2 + 2xy + 2xy + y^2, and you just need to simplify the middle two terms.

Sorry, I mixed up the first terms were 2x * 2x, not 4x*4x

Answer 37

did u get that?

Answer 38

polpak how would i write these in that one website you reccommended

Answer 44

simply type this equation directly.

Answer 45

i did! but it doesnt know what to do unless i type like "factor" or solve before the equation. but for this i need to perform the operation.

Answer 46

so what do i write BEFORE the equtaion

Answer 47

i write nothing there/

Answer 48

excpt the equation itslef.

Answer 49

i know but it doesnt solve it

Answer 50
