- The square of \( (3x - 2) \) is \(\boxed{9x^2 - 12x + 4}\).**Question:
- To rationalize the denominator of \( h(x) = \frac{3x + 5}{\sqrt{2x + 1}} \), we multiply both the numerator and the denominator by \( \sqrt{2x + 1} \) to eliminate the square root in the denominator:
- h(x) = \frac{3x + 5}{\sqrt{2x + 1}} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{2x + 1}}{\sqrt{2x + 1}} = \frac{(3x + 5) \sqrt{2x + 1}}{2x + 1}
- The rationalized form is:
