Answer: x^2 - 8x + 16
Let y = x-4
(x-4)^2 = (x-4)*(x-4)
(x-4)^2 = y*(x-4) ... replace one copy of (x-4) with y
(x-4)^2 = x*y - 4*y .... distribute
(x-4)^2 = x*( y ) - 4( y )
(x-4)^2 = x(x - 4) - 4(x - 4) ... replace y with x-4
(x-4)^2 = x^2-4x-4x+16 .... distribute
(x-4)^2 = x^2 - 8x + 16
Answer:
(x - 4)^2 = x^2 - 8*x + 16
Step-by-step explanation:
(a - b)^2 = a^2 - 2*a*b + b^2
(x - 4)^2 = x^2 - 2*x*4 + 4^2 = x^2 - 8*x + 16
