(6-4x-x^2)^2
Is there a question here?
Is "frank" the subject?
Are you supposed to multiply out the squared polynomial?
If so, give it a try.
yes you suppose to multiply the squared polynomial...but i was not to sure.
Here is what I have for an answer...
x^4-8x^3+28x^2-48x+36
Rearranging the terms..(-x^2-4x+6)^2=(-x^2-4x+6)(-x^2-4x+6)go from there
I get -12x^2 +16x^2 = 4x^2 for the "x^2 term"
The other terms look OK.
To find the square of the expression (6-4x-x^2)^2, follow these steps:
Step 1: Expand the expression inside the parentheses by multiplying it by itself.
(6-4x-x^2)(6-4x-x^2)
Step 2: To expand this expression, use the distributive property. Multiply each term from the first expression by each term from the second expression, and combine like terms.
(6 * 6) + (6 * -4x) + (6 * -x^2) + (-4x * 6) + (-4x * -4x) + (-4x * -x^2) + (-x^2 * 6) + (-x^2 * -4x) + (-x^2 * -x^2)
Simplifying this expression step by step:
36 - 24x - 6x^2 - 24x + 16x^2 + 4x^3 - 6x^2 + 4x^3 + x^4
Step 3: Combine like terms to obtain the final result.
x^4 + 8x^3 - 38x^2 - 48x + 36
