How do you multiply (2x3y)2?

1 Answer

The answer is 4x212xy+9y2.

Explanation:

First, we begin by setting it in the form of

(2x3y)(2x3y)

Using FOIL, we multiply the first term with the outer and inner term of (2x)(2x3y). If done right, you should arrive to the answer of

4x26xy

Now we do the same for the last term of the first part so (3y)(2x3y). The answer should be

6xy+9y2

So we now have the following terms of

4x26xy6xy+9y2

What we do now is simplify (combine like terms). The final answer is

4x212xy+9y2
