Whenever we square a binomial like this, the same pattern always occurs.
(x + 4)2 = (x + 4)(x + 4) = x2 + 4x + 4x + 16 = x2 + 8x + 16
See the
first term?
Whenever we square a binomial like this, the same pattern always occurs.
(x + 4)2 = (x + 4)(x + 4) = x2 + 4x + 4x + 16 = x2 + 8x + 16
What about the
second term?
The middle number is 2 times 4
Whenever we square a binomial like this, the same pattern always occurs.
(x + 4)2 = (x + 4)(x + 4) = x2 + 4x + 4x + 16 = x2 + 8x + 16
Squaring a binomial will always produce a trinomial whose first
and last terms are perfect squares and whose middle term is 2
times the numbers in the binomial, or
For two numbers a and b, (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
Examples:
(x + 3)2 = (x + 3)(x + 3) Remember: (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
= x2 + 2(3)(x) + 32
= x2 + 6x + 9
(z 4)2 = (z 4)(z 4) Remember: (a b)2 = a2 2ab + b2
= z2 2(4)(z) + 42
= z2 8z + 16
You should copy these rules into your notes and try to remember
them. They will help you work faster and make many problems you
solve easier.
For any two numbers a and b, (a + b)(a b) = a2 b2.
For two numbers a and b, (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
For any two numbers a and b, (a b)2 = a2 2ab + b2
