(x-5y-3z)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[a^{2} = a \times a\] similary, (x-5y-3z)^2 = (x-5y-3z) x (x-5y-3z) evaluate it to obtain the result

OpenStudy (anonymous):

of course, then what?

a(a+b+c) = a*a + a*b + a*c (a+b)(a+b+c) = a*a +a*b + a*c + b*a + b*b + b*c (a+b+c)(a+b+c) = a*a + a*b + a*c + b*a + b*b + b*c + c*a + c*b + c*c i hope you are able see how it works

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(a-b-c)^2=a^2+b^2+c^2-2ab-2bc-2ca

I did this. but it seems like a really long answer. Did you get x^2-10yx-6zx-5yx+25y^2+30zy +9z^2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the answer will be x^2+25y^2+9z^2-5xy-15yz-3zx

This is more frustrating than helpful but thanks for trying.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hahaha just try universal solution..?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its actually pretty simple you have three terms in your question lets name them a, b and c so the question becomes (a-b-c)^2 which can also be written as (a-b-c)(a-b-c) or a(a-b-c) - b(a-b-c) - c(a-b-c) (you have to multiply each term with all the other terms) similarly your question would simplify to x(x-5y-3z) - 5y(x-5y-3z) - 3z(x-5y-3z)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That is what I did

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x^2-5xy-3xz - 5xy+25y^2 +15yz -3xz+15yz+9z^2 x^2 -5xy -5xy -3xz-3xz +25y^2 +15yz+15yz+9z^2 x^2-10xy -6xz +25y^2 +30yz+9z^2 is the solution
