Question
Write the following squares of binomials as trinomials:
$\big(3\text{x}−\frac{1}{3\text{x}}\big)^2$

Answer

We will use the identities $(a+b)^2=a^2+2 a b+b^2$ and $(a-b)^2=a^2-2 a b+b^2$ to convert the squares of binomials as trinomials.
$\big(3\text{x}−\frac{1}{3\text{x}}\big)^2$
$=(3\text{x})^2−2(3\text{x})\big(\frac{1}{3}\text{x}\big)+\big(\frac{1}{3\text{x}})^2$
$=9\text{x}^2−2+\frac{1}{9\text{x}^2}$
