Question

(2x+5y)squared

how do you do this? i forgot

Answer 1

if you are trying to factor this, then it would be written out as (2x+5y)(2x+5y) because that would be how you would square that expression.

Answer 2

okay but how do i solve it? like its asking me to multiply?

Answer 3

well if the expression doesn't equal anything, it might be best to right it in notation

4x^2+10xy+10xy+25y^2

Answer 4

this would simplify into 29x^2+20xy. There!
