Observacions:

Si volem calcular, per exemple  left parenthesis 5 minus 3 right parenthesis squared podríem fer:

     · Aplicar la fórmula:    left parenthesis 5 minus 3 right parenthesis squared equals 5 squared minus 2 times 5 times 3 plus 3 squared equals 25 minus 30 plus 9 equals 34 minus 30 equals 4

     · Directament:  left parenthesis 5 minus 3 right parenthesis squared equals 2 squared equals 4

És obvi, que quan són nombres amb els que podem operar, és més senzill fer-ho directament.
