@AZ

Florisalreadytaken:

you are correct

Shawnte:

i gotchu

Shawnte:

we have to combine like terms

Shawnte:

so 9a+12a=?

Shawnte:

i mean 12a-9a

Shawnte:

which will give us 3a

MrMudd183:

\(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Shawnte i mean 12a-9a \(\color{#0cbb34}{\text{End of Quote}}\) Take another look at that, it's 9a^2 + 12a + 4 You can't combine the like terms, since 9a^2 doesn't have the same ending as 12a

MrMudd183:

9 is a perfect square, so is a^2 So take the squareroot of 9a^2 What will that give you?

Shawnte:

umhm my answer is still right (3a+2)^2

MrMudd183:

Not quite

Shawnte:

yes quite kiddo

MrMudd183:

Once you take the square roots, it'll give you 3a After that, you can now combine the like terms

MrMudd183:

wait, yeah you are...You missed some explinations

judethedude:

Your guys are just argueing

Shawnte:

yes and the answer is as i said it was

judethedude:

Please stop this post is already closed

MrMudd183:

We're both correct, you went straight to combing the terms. You forgot to squareroot the first term, since it was a perfect square

judethedude:

I don't even get this...

Shawnte:

yea so dont correct ppl when u dha wrong one g

judethedude:

Well i do.....

AZ:

judethedude:
