Square the binomial. -(3x-9)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just expand (3x-9)(3x-9), then multiply what you get by a negative sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, -9x^2+81 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's -81, isn't it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I meant -(9x^2-54x+81)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

now just distribute the negative sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh! I got it. So it's -9x^2+54x-81

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah
