REMEMBER: (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2
The square of a binomial consists of:
a. the square of the first term;
b. twice the product of the first and last terms; and
c. the square of the last term.
Remember that the square of a binomial is called a perfect square
trinomial.

Let’s Try: Square the following binomials using the pattern you have
just learned.

1. (s + 4)2 5. (3z + 2k)2 9. (45kj – 6)2

2. (w – 5)2 6. (5d – 7d2t)2 10. [(x + 3) – 5]2
3. (e – 7)2 7. (7q2w2 – 4w2)2
4. (2q – 4)2 8. ( 22e – 6)2

Remember: (x + y)(x – y) = x2 – y2

The product of the sum and difference of two terms is the difference of the
squares of the terms. In symbols, (x + y)(x – y) = x2 – y2. Notice that the
product is always a binomial.

Activity: Multiply the following binomials using the patterns you have
learned. Show your solution.

1. (w – 6) (w + 6) 3. (4y – 5d)(4y + 5d) 5. (12x –

3)(12x + 3)
2. (a + 4c) (a – 4c) 4. (3sd + 4f)(4f – 3sd)

REMEMBER: (x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2xz

The square of a trinomial consists of:

a. the sum of the squares of the first, second and last terms;
b. twice the product of the first and the second terms;
c. twice the product of the first and the last terms; and
d. twice the product of the second and the last terms.

Given:
(x + y + z)2 = Square the first term (x2) ; Square the second term (y2);
Square the last term (z2)
= Product of the first and second term (x.y +x.y)= 2xy
= Product of the first and last terms (x.z + x.z) = 2xz
= Product of the second and last terms (y.z + y.z)= 2yz

Answer: x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2xz

Activity: Square the following trinomials using the pattern you have
learned.

1. (r – t + n)2
2. (e + 2a + q)2
3. (m + a – y) (m + a – y)
4. (2s + o – 4n)2
5. (2i2 + 3a – 5n)2
