Full solution

Q. Expand.\newlineIf necessary, combine like terms.\newline(5x6)2=(5x-6)^2=\square
  1. Recognize as binomial squared: Recognize the expression as a binomial squared.\newlineThe expression (5x6)2(5x-6)^2 is a binomial squared, which means it is equivalent to (5x6)(5x6)(5x-6)(5x-6).
  2. Apply FOIL method: Apply the FOIL method to expand the binomial.\newlineFOIL stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last, which refers to the terms in each binomial that are multiplied together.\newlineFirst: (5x)(5x)=25x2(5x)*(5x) = 25x^2\newlineOuter: (5x)(6)=30x(5x)*(-6) = -30x\newlineInner: (6)(5x)=30x(-6)*(5x) = -30x\newlineLast: (6)(6)=36(-6)*(-6) = 36
  3. Combine like terms: Combine like terms.\newlineAfter applying the FOIL method, we have the terms 25x225x^2, 30x-30x, 30x-30x, and 3636. The like terms here are 30x-30x and 30x-30x.\newline25x2+(30x)+(30x)+36=25x260x+3625x^2 + (-30x) + (-30x) + 36 = 25x^2 - 60x + 36
