1. ## Find the Square

My problem is

"Find the Square"

(2x-6)^2

(2m-1)^2

Do you mean expand the brackets???

4x^2 - 12x + 36

4m^2 - 4m + 1

49m^2 + 84m + 36

9m^2 + 36m + 36

Is that what you meant??? :S

3. On the homework that is all it says... I guess I don't get what the difference is between "simplify" and "find the square" with these problems...

4. Well the square of a number is that number squared... so if the number was squared already it would be that number to the power of 4...

So the square of (2x-6)^2, say, would be (2x-6)^4.

Which isn't what I put in my original response, but is that what you meant?

Please don't ask for help in LiveChat. It is clearly against the LiveChat rules.

6. Sorry, I did not read the chat rules. Any way, I did not post the math question on the chat...
