2. (a) Note that 200 = 100 · 2 = 10 2 and 32 = 16 · 2 = 4 2. Thus 200 32 = 10 2 4 2 = 6 2.

(d) (2 + 3)2 = (2 + 3)(2 + 3) = 42 + 6 + 6 + 9 = 42 + 12 + 9.
Note: A quicker way to expand this binomial is to use the formula ( + )2 = 2 + 2 + 2 with = 2 and = 3:
(2 + 3)2 = (2)2 + 2(2)(3) + 32 = 42 + 12 + 9
(e) See Reference Page 1 for the binomial formula ( + )3 = 3 + 32 + 32 + 3. Using it, we get
( + 2)3 = 3 + 32(2) + 3(22) + 23 = 3 + 62 + 12 + 8.
4. (a) Using the difference of two squares formula, 2 2 = ( + )( ), we have
42 25 = (2)2 52 = (2 + 5)(2 5).
(b) Factoring by trial and error, we get 22 + 5 12 = (2 3)( + 4).
(c) Using factoring by grouping and the difference of two squares formula, we have
3 32 4 + 12 = 2( 3) 4( 3) = (2 4)( 3) = ( 2)( + 2)( 3).
(d) 4 + 27 = (3 + 27) = ( + 3)(2 3 + 9)
This last expression was obtained using the sum of two cubes formula, 3 + 3 = ( + )(2  + 2) with =
and = 3. [See Reference Page 1 in the textbook.]
(e) The smallest exponent on is 1
2 , so we will factor out 12.
