PREPARED BY: MR. JERRY MAE A. RANES
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
▪ Understand the concept of special products, specifically the
square of a trinomial;
▪ Apply these concepts to simplify expressions and solve
problems; and
▪ Recognize real-world situations where these concepts can be
used.

𝑥+𝑦+𝑧 = 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 + 𝑧 2 = +2𝑥𝑦 + 2𝑥𝑧 + 2𝑦𝑧

This compromises of three (4) steps:

a. square the first, second, and third term;
b. add the twice of the product of the first and second term;
c. add the twice of the product of the first and third term; and
d. add the twice of the product of the second and third term;
