Multiply (-2x+2)^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "My result is -2x^2-4x+4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Is it correct?\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Nice try but the answer is not right.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(-2x+2)^2 = (-2x + 2)(-2x + 2)\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Let's use FOIL.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-2x times -2x = 4x^2\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "-2x times 2 = -4x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2 times -2x = -4x\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "2 times 2 = 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We now put it terms together.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x^2 - 4x - 4x + 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We now combine like terms and the final answer is:\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4x^2 - 8x + 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
