A. (2m^4-3p^3)^2

B. (2m^8-3p^3)^2

C. (2m^8-3p^6)^2

D. 4(m^4-3p^3)^2

Answer 1

Please help!

Answer 2

\(4m^{16} - 12m^8 p^3 + 9p^6\)

Can I write the above equation in the form : \(a^2 -2ab + b^2\) ?

Answer 3

\(4m^{16} = a^2\)

Can you tell me what is \(a\) now?

Answer 4

I am not sure about the answer

Answer 5

can I write \(4m^{16} \) as \((2m^8)^2\) ?

Answer 6

Yes

Answer 7
