Sure, I'd be happy to help you simplify these expressions. Let's go through them step by step:
a) (x+4)2
To simplify this expression, you can apply the formula for squaring a binomial: (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2.
In this case, a=x and b=4:
(x+4)2=x2+2x⋅4+42=x2+8x+16.
b) (a−2b)2
Using the same formula:
(a−2b)2=a2−2ab+(2b)2=a2−4ab+4b2.
c) (3y+5)(3y−5)
This expression is a difference of squares, and you can use the formula a2−b2=(a+b)(a−b):
(3y+5)(3y−5)=(3y)2−52=9y2−25.
a) (c−2)(c+3)−(c−1)2
Start by expanding the terms inside the brackets and then subtracting the squared term:
(c−2)(c+3)−(c−1)2=c2+3c−2c−6−(c2−2c+1)=c2+3c−2c−6−c2+2c−1=3−6−1=−4.
b) 3(a+c)2−6ac
To simplify this expression, first expand the square:
3(a+c)2=3(a2+2ac+c2)=3a2+6ac+3c2.
Now, subtract 6ac:
3(a+c)2−6ac=3a2+6ac+3c2−6ac=3a2+3c2.
a) 16a2−9
This expression cannot be further simplified. It is a difference of squares, but 16a2 cannot be factored further, and 9 is a perfect square.
b) 3x3−75x
Here, you can factor out 3x from both terms:
3x3−75x=3x(x2−25).
Now, you can further factor the difference of squares:
3x(x2−25)=3x(x+5)(x−5).
c) 2x2+4xy+2y2
This expression cannot be factored further. It is a quadratic expression with two terms, and no common factors can be extracted.
(6x−x2)2+x2(x−1)(x+1)+6x(3+
