Math Problem Statement

(6m – 6)2 =

Solution

The given expression is:

(6m6)2(6m - 6)^2

This is a binomial square, which can be expanded using the formula:

(ab)2=a22ab+b2(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2ab + b^2

Here, a=6ma = 6m and b=6b = 6. Applying the formula:

(6m6)2=(6m)22(6m)(6)+(6)2(6m - 6)^2 = (6m)^2 - 2(6m)(6) + (6)^2

Now, let's simplify step by step:

(6m)2=36m2(6m)^2 = 36m^2 2(6m)(6)=72m-2(6m)(6) = -72m (6)2=36(6)^2 = 36

Thus, the expanded form is:

36m272m+3636m^2 - 72m + 36
