(x+6)^2 what is it?

okay, so when you square a (presumably) root, there is one thing you gotta keep in mind.

do not square the numbers individually. aka

(x+6)^2 does not equal x^2 + 36

instead you would do this

(x+6)(x+6)

and use FOIL (first, outer, inner, last) to get your final product.

 

X x X = x^2

X x 6 = 6x

6 x X = 6x

6 x 6 = 36

 

so your answer is: X^2 + 12x + 36
