Example: square 3 = 3 x 3 =
= 9
.
"Binomial" means two terms or two monomials.
Example: 3x is a monomial because it has only one term, 3x.
Example: 3x+2 is a binomial because there are now two terms, 3x and 2.
.
To "square" a binomial means to multiply the binomial twice.
Example: square (3x+2) = (3x+2)(3x+2) =
.
To multiply the square of a binomial, use the FOIL method:
F = first terms are multiplied together
O = outer terms are multiplied together
I = inner terms are multiplied together
L = last terms are multiplied together
.
Example:
(4m-9) [The binomial has two terms, 4m and (-9)]
[Squaring the binomial or taking it twice]
(4m-9)(4m-9) [The expanded form of the squared binomial]
(4m)(4m)+(4m)(-9)+(-9)(4m)+(-9)(-9) [Using the FOIL method to multiply]
[Combine like-terms]
[Final answer]
