If (2x+3)(2x+3) is viewed as a square, what is it equal to?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: 4x^2+12x+9

The correct answer is A: 4x^2+12x+9. The two factors are identical, so their product is the square of one factor: (2x+3)(2x+3)=(2x+3)^2. Use the identity (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2. Here a=2x and b=3. First, a^2=(2x)^2=4x^2. Next, the two cross-products together give 2ab=2(2x)(3)=12x. Finally, b^2=3^2=9. Adding these parts gives 4x^2+12x+9. Option A is therefore correct. Option B incorrectly treats (2x)^2 as 2x^2; the coefficient 2 must also be squared. Option C has only 6x in the middle, which is ab rather than 2ab, so one cross-product has been missed. Option D contains the first and last terms but omits both cross-products, so it is incomplete. A useful check is to remember that a square of a binomial has three terms, not just the two squared terms. Memory cue: square the first term, add twice their product, then square the second term.
