Answer:

Explanation:

(a+b+c)²=a²+b²+c²+2ab+2bc+2ca

(2x-3y+4z)²=(2x)²+(-3y)²+(4z)²+2(2x)(-3y)+2(-3y)(4z)+2(4z)(2x)

=4x²+9y²+16z²-12xy-24yz+16zx

We know that,

(a + b + c)² = a² + b² + c² + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca

Now Putting 2x = a, -3y = b and 4z = c , we get

(2x - 3y + 4z)²

(2x)² + (- 3y)² + (4z)² + 2 × 2x × (- 3y) + 2 × (- 3y) × 4z + 2 × 4z × 2x

4x² + 9y² + 16z² - 12xy - 24yz + 16zx

Arranging according to the like terms, we get

4x² - 12xy + 16zx + 9y² - 24yz + 16z²
