Question 153685: Please help me solve the following expression:
Write (4x-3)^2 as a trinomial.
I attempted this problem by factoring the expression to (2x+3)(2x-3), but that didn't seem to go anywhere. Next i wrote out the expression as 2x(2)(2x)(2)(2x)(2)(2x)(2)-3(3), but that's where i got lost.

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
(4x-3)^2 is (4x-3)*(4x-3) __ just FOIL it

16x^2-12x-12x+9 __ 16x^2-24x+9
