And here is another shmoop de jour...

00:05

Find the product: quantity a minus 3 squared.

00:07

And here are the potential answers...

00:12

Well. It's just a basic FOIL question.

00:14

It'll go like this:

00:20

We have quantity a minus 3 times quantity a minus 3

00:25

and that gives us a squared minus 3a minus 3a plus 9

00:30

or a squared minus 6a plus 9.

00:33

So that's it. The answer is E. That's a wrap.
