\[ (a-b)^2 = a^2-2ab+b^2 \] where \[ a=4x \] \( b=9 \) by subtituting, we get: \[ (4x)^2-(2 \times 4x \times 9)+9^2 \] can you do the rest?

marissabartoldo:

16x-?+81 its the middle i have trouble on sorry i took so long to replied i was talking to someone

marissabartoldo:

wait no 16x^2-?+81

Florisalreadytaken:

yeah you're right -- so we have \( (16^2-(2 \times 4x \times 9)+81 \) what is \( 2 \times 9 \) ?

Florisalreadytaken:

oops -- i accidentally added a bracket in the beginning lol!

joc2slump:

i was right(:

marissabartoldo:

18

Florisalreadytaken:

what about \( 18 \times 4x \) ?

marissabartoldo:

72x

Florisalreadytaken:

Yes! so our answer would be: \( 16^2-72x+81 \)

marissabartoldo:

ok thanks
