Math Problem Statement

solve for matches

Match the polynomial expression on the left with the simplified version on the right.

Solution

Here are the simplified forms of the given polynomial expressions:

  1. (n2)2(n - 2)^2 simplifies to n24n+4n^2 - 4n + 4.
  2. (n+2)(n2)(n + 2)(n - 2) simplifies to n24n^2 - 4.

Matching these with the options on the right:

  • (n2)2(n - 2)^2 matches n24n+4n^2 - 4n + 4.
  • (n+2)(n2)(n + 2)(n - 2) matches n24n^2 - 4.

Would you like more details or have any further questions? Here are some related questions you might find useful:

  1. What are the steps to expand binomials like (n2)2(n-2)^2?
  2. Why does (n+2)(n2)(n+2)(n-2) simplify to n24n^2 - 4?
  3. Can other binomial expressions be simplified similarly?
  4. How do you factor quadratic expressions?
  5. What is the difference between expanding and factoring polynomials?

Tip: Remember that (ab)2(a-b)^2 follows the pattern a22ab+b2a^2 - 2ab + b^2, which helps in quick expansion.
