can anyone tell me, what is this equation about? a ( x + p ) square all of it and then + p?

Question

is it a simplified version of a completing the square method?! or what is it......

Answer 1

Well, all I can gather from what you said is that the equation is a^2(x + p)^2 + p which you would simply expand. Is there more to this - are you expected to then factorise it?

Answer 2

Square it all and get:

a^2*(x^2+2xp+p^2)+p = (ax)^2 + 2xp*a^2 + (ap)^2 +p.

You can play around and get:

p*a^2(2x + p) + (ax)^2 + p
