Key Concepts
Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.
Binomial Expansion
Binomial expansion is a method used to expand expressions that are raised to a power, particularly those in the form of (a + b)². The formula for the square of a binomial is (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b². In the context of the given expression, (5r - 3t²)², it involves recognizing the two terms, 5r and -3t², and applying this formula to find the expanded form.
