Which of the following is equivalent to (2x + 3)(2x + 3)?

Answer:
[tex](2x+3)(2x+3)=4x^2+12x+9[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we are given
[tex](2x+3)(2x+3)[/tex]
Firstly, we will distribute it
[tex]=2x\times 2x+2x\times 3+3\times 2x+3\times 3[/tex]
now, we can simplify it
[tex]=2\times 2\times x\times x+2\times 3x+3\times 2x+9[/tex]
[tex]=4x^2+6x+6x+9[/tex]
[tex]=4x^2+12x+9[/tex]
so, we get simplified term as
[tex](2x+3)(2x+3)=4x^2+12x+9[/tex]
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Identity : (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
It is given that,
(2x + 3 )(2x + 3)
we can write (2x + 3 )(2x + 3) = (2x + 3)²
It is similar to the identity.
Here a = 2x and b = 3
Therefore,
(2x + 3)² = (2x)² + 2 *2x*3 + 3²
= 4x² + 12x +9
Therefore the correct answer is option A. 4x² + 12x +9
