(3x-7y^4)^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Wat does that carrot sign mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the next number is an exponenet

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

(3x-7y^4)^2 (3x-7y^4)(3x-7y^4) 3x(3x-7y^4)+(-7y^4)(3x-7y^4) 3x(3x-7y^4)-7y^4(3x-7y^4) can you do the last step?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes thx so much

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

np, tell me your final result, to make sure it's right :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9x-7y^4+49y^16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9x^2

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

No.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok can u help me

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

3x(3x-7y^4) = 9x^2 - 21xy^4 -7y^4(3x-7y^4)= -21xy^4+49y^8 so 9x^2 - 21xy^4-21xy^4+49y^8 ... 9x^2 - 42xy^4+49y^8 alternatively, you could have used, \[(a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2\]

OpenStudy (solomonzelman):

3x is your a 7y^4 is your b

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thx so much I understand it now
