Given: An expression


(2y-9x)^2

Required: To simplify the expression.

Explanation: Recall the algebraic identity-


(a-b)^2=a^2+b^2-2ab

Using the identity, we can simplify it as follows-


(2y-9x)^2=(2y)^2+(9x)^2-2(2y)(9x)

Further simplifying-


=4y^2+81x^2-36xy

Final Answer: The simplified expression is-


4y^2+81x^2-36xy
