As a generalization, definitely not! However, when and only when x = 2, x2 = 2x.

"It depends on whether the 2x is a quantity being squared or not.

x² + 2x² = 3x²

That's because you have 1 x² + 2 x² = 3 x²

(one of something plus two of something equals three of something).

However, if you intended for the whole quantity 2x to be squared you would write:

x² + (2x)² = 5 x²

x² + 4x² = 5x²

In Pythagorean terms, if the ratio of the legs were x and 2x, then you'd take the square root of 5x² and get:

√5 * x

So a right triangle with legs in the ratio of 1x to 2x will have a hypotenuse equal to (√5)x"

Dear Norvellwisdom,

I believe that this is your opinion not a fact. I have wrote the correct answer.

Thanks,

Dear Ms. Natalie,

Your have written an answer to a different question: "Is x squared equal to 2x squared. That is not the question as it was stated. According to standard algebraic notation, "2x" equals 2 X x, not either "2x2" or (2x)2.

Thanks, Norvell Wisdom

Does 2x equal x squared?

only when x is equal to 2


What is X squared plus x squared equal to?

x2 + x2 = 2x2 2x^2


What does x squared minus 2x equal?

x2 - 2x = x(x-2) and that cannot be simplified further.


What does cos squared x - Sin squared x equal?

2 x cosine squared x -1 which also equals cos (2x)


What does x squared minus 2x plus 1 equal?

This expression factors as x -1 quantity squared.


Does x times x equal 2x?

No, x + x equals 2x. x times x equals x2. (x times x equals x squared.)


What is x squared times 2x squared?

To find the product of x squared and 2x squared, you multiply the coefficients (2 and 1) to get 2, and then add the exponents of x (2 and 2) to get x to the power of 4. Therefore, x squared times 2x squared is equal to 2x^4.


What does Sin squared x Cos squared x equal?

sin2 x = (1/2)(1 - cos 2x) cos2 x = (1/2)(1 + cos 2x) Multiplying both you get (1/4) (1 - cos2 2x) Which is equal to (1/4) (1 - (1/2) (1 + cos 4x) = (1/8) (2 - 1 - cos 4x) = (1/8) (1 - cos 4x) Or If it is the trigonomic function, sin squared x and cosine squared x is equal to one


Is 2x the same as x squared?

No. x squared is x times x, whereas 2x is x + x.


What is the product of (2x-7y)(x y)?

If you mean: (2x-7y)(x+y) then it is 2x squared -5xy -7y squared


What does x squared - 2x factor out to?

x2 - 2x = x(x-2)


What is x-squared minus 2 x plus 15?

It is impossible but if it were x squared plus 2x minus 15 the equation would be (x+5) (x-3) with x being equal to either -5 or 3. If the original problem was x squared minus 2x minus 15 the equation would be (x-5)(x+3) and x would be equal to either 5 or -3
