Question

squared? 16. Boyd says the expression below cannot be simplified. Do you agree? Justify your response. K2 + 6k + 2m + 3n2 + 4 M

Answer 1

we have

`k^2+6k+2m+3n^2+4`

Simplify

Group terms

`\begin{gathered} (k^2+6k)+(2m+4)+3n^2 \\ k(k+6)+2(m+2)+3n^2 \end{gathered}`

therefore

The expression can be simplified
