One last example. Example For , simplify and substitute for and . Let’s try with substitution first. (1 + 2)2 = 9 How about expanding first? ? Mmm… 12 + 22 = 5 Well that didn’t work. . So what is it?
Let’s look at (x + y)2 as an area. Here we want the total area. I made the size of look different to but this doesn’t matter.
So if we add each part together we get… = = How about ? And how about ?
