if 2 less than the product of 3 and x is squared, the result is y. what is y in terms of x? a. y=(3x-2)^2 b. y=3x^2-2 c.y=3(x^2-2) d. y=(3x)^2-2 HELP ME ASAPPLEASEEEEE
Accepted Solution
A:
Well let's break this down: 2 less than the product of 3 and x is squared means:
the product of 3 and x is squared-2
the product of 3 and x is squared means (3x) squared or (3x)^2 Now combine that with your first deduction to get (3x)^2-2 or D
