Question Simplify the expression x2+4x+4 Evaluate (−x−2)2A negative base raised to an even power equals a positive (x+2)2Use (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2 to expand the expression x2+2x×2+22Solution x2+4x+4 Show Solution Find the roots x=−2 Evaluate (−x−2)2To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0 (−x−2)2=0The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0 −x−2=0Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign −x=0+2Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression −x=2Solution x=−2 Show Solution
