I'm supposed the simplify the equation 5(2y-z)^2+4(y+2z)^2.
The answer I keep getting is 28y + 6z.
My textbook has the answer as 24y2-4yz+21z2.
How did the text book come up with this answer?
-------------------
5(2y-z)^2+4(y+2z)^2
---
= 5[4y^2-4yz+z^2) + 4(y^2+4yz+4z^2)
------------
= 20y^2-20yz+5z^2 + 4y^2+16yz+16z^2
------
= 24y^2 -4yz + 21z^2

5(2y-Z)^2 + 4(y+2Z)^2
= 5 [ 4y^2 + 4Zy + Z^2 ] + 4 [ y^2 + 4Zy + 4Z^2 ]
= 20y^2 + 20Zy + 5Z^2 + 4y^2 + 16Zy + 16Z^2
= 20y^2 + 4y^2 - 20Zy +16Zy + 5Z^2 + 16Z^2
= 24y^2 - 4Zy + 21Z^2
Perhaps you had did some careless mistakes in the process.
