Question

question 7

multiply:
\\((x + 3)^2\\)

(hint: when you have a binomial squared, write it out twice \\((x + 3)(x + 3)\\) and then multiply it out.)

\\(x^2 + 6x + 9\\)
\\(x^2 + 9\\)
\\(x^2 - 6x + 9\\)
\\(x^2 - 9\\)

Explanation:

Expand the squared binomial

$$ (x + 3)^2 = (x + 3)(x + 3) $$

Apply the FOIL method

$$ LATEXBLOCK0 $$

Combine like terms

$$ x^2 + 3x + 3x + 9 = x^2 + 6x + 9 $$

Answer:

  • (A) \(x^2 + 6x + 9\) (Correct answer)
  • (B) \(x^2 + 9\)
  • (C) \(x^2 - 6x + 9\)
  • (D) \(x^2 - 9\)
