\((a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\)
Here a=2n, b=2
Does that help?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it 4n^2 - 4?
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
yup:)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so if the question is find the square (6m + 7)^2 what formula is it?
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
\((a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2\)
here a=6m, b=7

"find the square"
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
\((a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\)
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
here a=2x, b=6
OpenStudy (anonymous):
working on it 1sec
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it 4x^2 - 8x + 36?

middle term is wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hmm its either 12x or 24x not sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
id say 24x?
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
2*2x*6=?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(2n)^2-(2)^2
4n^2-4

Do you know how to find missing coefficient?
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
ya:)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok (4d - 4)(3d - 2) = 12d^2 + ?d + 8
? = missing coefficient

OpenStudy (ajprincess):
(4d - 4)(3d - 2)
=4d(3d-2)-4(3d-2)
=12d^2-8d-12d+8
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
?d=-8d-12d
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ohhhh i see so 4
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
nope:(
OpenStudy (ajprincess):
both the numbers are negative. so the result is also negative
