Question

Square the Binomial
(5X-6)^2

Answer 1

(5x-6) (5x-6)

Do you follow me so far?

Answer 2

You just restated the equation in a different form, (5x-6)^2 is the same as (5x-6)(5x-6)

Answer 3

this is my first day on here so no Im not following you. how do I simplify that answer?

Answer 4

thats okay, this equation requires you to FOIL, do you know how to do that?

Answer 5

no I dont

Answer 6

To foil, you would multiply the equation against itself. I will do the math and let you see how I do it.

Answer 7

(5x-6)(5x-6)
5x * 5x = 25x^2
5x * -6 = -35x
-6 * 5x = -35x
-6 * -6 = 36

Answer 8

Do you understand how I did that???

Answer 9

sorry I'm just now responding. how would I simplify (4x-9)^2
