I think my math teacher is wrong

[Kalphiter]

x^2 + 34 is the only correct answer, but it's a terrible question.

[Night Fox]

"The sum of" means you have to add "The square of X and 34"

but that would add another possible answer
x² + 34²

[Dissolve]

but that would add another possible answer
x² + 34²

Well then.

That's what I would have put I guess.

I'd argue this point here.

[Kalphiter]

but that would add another possible answer
x² + 34²

x² + 34² = (x + 34)²

derp

[Night Fox]

x² + 34² = (x + 34)²
derp

*another possible way to write it
