Question Simplify the expression 9x2−102x+289 Evaluate (3x−17)2Use (a−b)2=a2−2ab+b2 to expand the expression (3x)2−2×3x×17+172Solution 9x2−102x+289 Show Solution Find the roots x=317Alternative Form x=5.6˙ Evaluate (3x−17)2To find the roots of the expression,set the expression equal to 0 (3x−17)2=0The only way a power can be 0 is when the base equals 0 3x−17=0Move the constant to the right-hand side and change its sign 3x=0+17Removing 0 doesn't change the value,so remove it from the expression 3x=17Divide both sides 33x=317Solution x=317Alternative Form x=5.6˙ Show Solution
