Exercise 18 Page 510

Recall that (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2.

r^2+6r+9

Practice makes perfect
We want to simplify the given expression. Recall that the square of a binomial with addition is the sum of the square of the first term, twice the product of the terms, and the square of the last term. ( a+ b)^2= a^2+ 2 a b+ b^2 Let's use the above formula to simplify our expression!
( r+ 3)^2
r^2+ 2( r)( 3)+ 3^2
r^2+2(r)(3)+9
r^2+6r+9
