Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (9x-8)^2

${(9 x - 8)}^{2}$

Step 1

Use the binomial expansion theorem to find each term. The binomial theorem states ${(a + b)}^{n} = \sum_{k = 0}^{n} n C k \cdot (a^{n - k} b^{k})$ .

$\sum_{k = 0}^{2} \frac{2!}{(2 - k)! k!} \cdot {(9 x)}^{2 - k} \cdot {(- 8)}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{2!}{(2 - 0)! 0!} \cdot {(9 x)}^{2 - 0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{0} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 1)! 1!} \cdot {(9 x)}^{2 - 1} \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 2)! 2!} \cdot {(9 x)}^{2 - 2} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(9 x)}^{2} \cdot {(- 8)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(9 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(9 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Step 4

Simplify each term.

Multiply ${(9 x)}^{2}$ by $1$ .

${(9 x)}^{2} \cdot {(- 8)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(9 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(9 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Apply the product rule to $9 x$ .

$9^{2} x^{2} \cdot {(- 8)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(9 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(9 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Raise $9$ to the power of $2$ .

$81 x^{2} \cdot {(- 8)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(9 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(9 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$81 x^{2} \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot {(9 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(9 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Multiply $81$ by $1$ .

$81 x^{2} + 2 \cdot {(9 x)}^{1} \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(9 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Simplify.

$81 x^{2} + 2 \cdot (9 x) \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(9 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Multiply $9$ by $2$ .

$81 x^{2} + 18 x \cdot {(- 8)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(9 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Evaluate the exponent.

$81 x^{2} + 18 x \cdot - 8 + 1 \cdot {(9 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Multiply $- 8$ by $18$ .

$81 x^{2} - 144 x + 1 \cdot {(9 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Multiply ${(9 x)}^{0}$ by $1$ .

$81 x^{2} - 144 x + {(9 x)}^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Apply the product rule to $9 x$ .

$81 x^{2} - 144 x + 9^{0} x^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$81 x^{2} - 144 x + 1 x^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Multiply $x^{0}$ by $1$ .

$81 x^{2} - 144 x + x^{0} \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$81 x^{2} - 144 x + 1 \cdot {(- 8)}^{2}$

Multiply ${(- 8)}^{2}$ by $1$ .

$81 x^{2} - 144 x + {(- 8)}^{2}$

Raise $- 8$ to the power of $2$ .

$81 x^{2} - 144 x + 64$
