OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

Simplify. (x+3)^2

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

x^2+6?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

or 2x^2+6

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

You are squaring something 3^2 = ?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

9

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

so 3^2=9

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

YUP!!!!! So your equation goes something along the lines of x^2 +/- x +/- # = 0 Fill in the blanks.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its not

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

x^2-4x+9=0 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Simplify (x+3)2 + 4x Evaluate : (x+3)2 = x2+6x+9 Factoring x2+10x+9 (x+9) • (x+1) (x + 9) • (x + 1) = 0 Solve (x+9)•(x+1) = 0 Solve : x+9 = 0 Subtract 9 from both sides of the equation : x = -9 Solve : x+1 = 0 Subtract 1 from both sides of the equation : x = -1

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

No. you're not moving anything across an equal sign. so there's no need to change the postive and negative. x^2 + 4x + 9

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

@Albany_Goon The question isn't asking us to find "x". It's asking us to rearrange the equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok so then its 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

because she has to write the cubic polynomial on the left hand side in standard form rite?

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

x^2-4x+9=0 ? is this correct?

OpenStudy (sloppycanada):

@zarkam21 No, not quite. you seem to have the -4x wrong. It should be \[x^2+4x+9 = 0\]

zarkam21 (zarkam21):

Thanks @sloppycanada
