Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Simply
00:03 We'll use the shortened multiplication formulas to open the brackets
00:11 X is the A in the formula
00:17 And 2 is the B in the formula
00:30 We'll use the same formula where X is A and 3 is B
00:40 Let's solve the multiplications
00:53 Let's group the factors
01:06 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

In order to solve the question, we need to know one of the shortcut multiplication formulas:

(xy)2=x22xy+y2 (x−y)^2=x^2−2xy+y^2

We apply the formula twice:

(x2)2=x24x+4 (x-2)^2=x^2-4x+4

(x3)2=x26x+9 (x-3)^2=x^2-6x+9

Now we add the two together:

x24x+4+x26x+9= x^2-4x+4+x^2-6x+9=

2x210x+13 2 x^2-10x+13

Answer

2x210x+13 2x^2-10x+13
