Express (x-8)^2 as a trinomial in standard form
Simplifying (x-8)^2, we have:
(x-8)(x-8)
Using the FOIL method, we can expand this expression as follows:
x(x) + x(-8) + (-8)(x) + (-8)(-8)
x^2 - 8x - 8x + 64
Combining like terms, we have:
x^2 - 16x + 64
Therefore, (x-8)^2 expressed as a trinomial in standard form is x^2 - 16x + 64.
