  1. 1. Use (x + 3)² = x² + 6x + 9 to evaluate it at x = 2.

    • d16
    Show solution

    Answer: 25

    (x + a)² = x² + 2ax + a².

    2² + 6·2 + 9 = 4 + 12 + 9 = 25.

  2. 2. Solve for x: 10^x = 10000

    • a5
    • b4
    • c10
    • d3
    Show solution

    Answer: 4

    Write the right side as a power of the same base, then match exponents.

    10000 = 10^4, so x = 4.

  3. 3. Use (x + 2)² = x² + 4x + 4 to evaluate it at x = 3.

    • a25
    • b10
    • c13
    • d21
    Show solution

    Answer: 25

    (x + a)² = x² + 2ax + a².

    3² + 4·3 + 4 = 9 + 12 + 4 = 25.
