Answer:
x² +4x +4
Step-by-step explanation:
Matching the expressions, you see you have y=2. Put 2 where y is and simplify.
(x +2)² = x² +2x(2) +(2)² = x² +4x +4
ANSWER
[tex] {x}^{2} + 4x + 4[/tex]
EXPLANATION
We want to expand:
[tex](x { + 2)}^{2} [/tex]
Using the identity:
[tex] {( x + y)}^{2} = {x}^{2} + 2xy + {y}^{2} [/tex]
We put y=2 into the identity to obtain;
[tex] {( x + 2)}^{2} = {x}^{2} + 2x(2) + {2}^{2} [/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]{( x + 2)}^{2} = {x}^{2} +4x + 4[/tex]
