Hey there!
(4x - 6)^2
= (4x - 6)(4x - 6)
FACTOR/DISTRIBUTE
= 4x(4x) + 4x(-6) - 6(4x) - 6(-6)
SIMPLIFY
= 16x^2 - 24x - 24x - 36
COMBINE the LIKE TERMS
= 16x^2 - 48x - 36
Therefore, the answer should be:
16x^2 - 48x - 36
Therefore, your answer should be: “No, because the equation should’ve been 16x^2 - 48x - 36. She didn’t factor the equation correctly”
Good luck with your assignment & enjoy your day!
