Replace ∗ with a monomial so that the expression can be rewritten as a square of a sum or a difference:
b
36–12x + ∗

x^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula we should use here is (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2

Using this we should first squared 36, getting us 6

Then divide -12x by 6, getting us -2x

Then we divide-2x by -1, getting us 2x

Lastly we divide 2x by 2 to get x

x is our original factors, but to fit in the equation, we need to square it

(8+64)^2= 5184 < answer

step-by-step explanation:

2^3 = 8

4^3= 64

(8+64)^2 = 5184
