- (5x^2-6y^2)^2
- ( 5 x ^2 -6 y^2 ) ^2
- ( 5 x^2 -6 y^2 ) ^2
- ( 5 x^2 -6 y^2 )^2

But, is the "-" in front a negative sign, or is that just a comma?
OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
lol
OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
i think hshould use (a-b)^2=a^2-2ab+b^2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
( five x squared minus six y squared ) squared

*it will be (5x^2-6y^2)^2
OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
\[(5x^2-6y^2)^2=(5x^2)^2-2.5x^2.6y^2+(6y)^2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[where does the -2.5x^{2} come from\]
OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
\[used\\(a-b)^2=a^2-2.a.b+b^2\]
OpenStudy (sidsiddhartha):
here (.) means multiplication

so finally\[(5x^2-6y^2)=25x^4-60x^2y^2+36y^2\]
