Choose the correct product of (3x - 8)².
9x² - 64
9x² + 64
9x² - 48x + 64
9x² + 48x + 64

Solution:

Given: Equation is (3x - 8)²

Expanding the given equation by the algebraic identity (a - b)² = a² + b² - 2ab

Here a = 3x and b = 8. Substituting the values in the identity, we get

(3x - 8)² = (3x)² + 8² - 2(3x)8

= 9x² + 64 - 48x

= 9x² - 48x + 64

Choose the correct product of (3x - 8)²

Summary:

The correct product of (3x - 8)² is 9x² - 48x + 64
