Simplify (3x+2)^2

Problem

(3*x+2)^2

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a square of a binomial in the form (a+b)^2

2. Apply the formula for the square of a binomial, which is (a+b)^2=a^2+2*a*b+b^2

3. Substitute a=3*x and b=2 into the formula.

4. Expand the terms to get (3*x)^2+2*(3*x)*(2)+(2)^2

5. Simplify each term to arrive at the final polynomial.

Final Answer

(3*x+2)^2=9*x^2+12*x+4
