Rewrite without parentheses and simplify (3u+ 8v)^2

When you FOIL it out, you get

9u² + 48uv + 64v² .

and that's IT.

There's only one way to simplify that expression.
Let's be honest with each other. If we were given

9u² + 48uv + 64v²

and asked to simplify it, we would write it as (3u + 8v)²
just as fast as we could !
