Math Problem Statement

The equation (2x+3y)2 is equal to:

Solution

It looks like you're dealing with the expression (2x+3y)2(2x + 3y)^2. This expression can be expanded using the formula for the square of a binomial:

(a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

In this case, a=2xa = 2x and b=3yb = 3y. Let's apply the formula:

(2x+3y)2=(2x)2+2(2x)(3y)+(3y)2(2x + 3y)^2 = (2x)^2 + 2(2x)(3y) + (3y)^2

Now, calculate each term:

  1. (2x)2=4x2(2x)^2 = 4x^2
  2. 2(2x)(3y)=12xy2(2x)(3y) = 12xy
  3. (3y)2=9y2(3y)^2 = 9y^2

So, the expanded form of (2x+3y)2(2x + 3y)^2 is:

4x2+12xy+9y2\boxed{4x^2 + 12xy + 9y^2}
