Help with this please.

(x+2)^2-7(x-12)^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

scratch that (x+2)^2-7(x-1)^2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

u want help in simplifying ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(a+b)^2 = a^2+b^2+2ab (a-b)^2 = a^2+b^2-2ab u familiar wid above formulae ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im still confused.. sorry..

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(x+2)^2-7(x-1)^2 ok. first term is in the form : (a+b)^2 u notice that ?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

a=x b=2

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(x+2)^2 - 7(x-1)^2 (x^2+2^2+2.x.2) - 7(x^2+1^2-2.x.1)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i have just applied the formulae, (a+b)^2 (a-b)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im so confused...

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hmm its ok. il put the solution step by step... see if it makes sense

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok thank you.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\((x+2)^2 - 7(x-1)^2\) \((x^2+2^2+2.x.2) - 7(x^2+1^2-2.x.1)\) \((x^2+4+4x) - 7(x^2+1-2x)\) \(x^2+4+4x- 7x^2 - 7 + 14x)\) \(-6x^2+18x - 3\)
