Question

Write (6a)^2 without exponents

(6a)^2 =

Answer 1

6a(6a) , Iam not completely sure.

Answer 2

I know theres some type of way or simple formula to solve this problem. I just forgot it and I can't find it in my notes. I'm looking for someone to tell me.

Answer 3

First you have to know that \(x^2=x\times x\).
Therefore, \((6a)^2=6a\times6a\).
Then you'll have to know that \(6a=6\times a\).
Therefore, \((6a)^2=6a\times6a=6\times a\times6\times a=36a\times a\)
