Multiply
(4x + 6) ^2
Okay, You can't distribute the exponent because it's addition inside that paranthesis.
How about FOIL?
That sounds correct so this is what I got!
F.O.I.L. = First, Outer, Inner, Last.
(4x+6)^2 =
(4x+6) (4x+6)
First 4x*4x = 16x^2
Outer 4x*6 = 24x
Inner 6*4x = 24x
24x+24x = 48x
Last 6*6 = 36
16x^2 + 48x + 36
Yup. That's what I got.
Good Job! Thanks for the help!
To solve the expression (4x + 6)^2, we need to use the concept of multiplying a binomial by itself.
Step 1: Write down the given expression.
(4x + 6)^2
Step 2: Expand the expression using the distributive property.
(4x + 6)(4x + 6)
Step 3: Multiply the terms in the first binomial by the terms in the second binomial.
(4x * 4x) + (4x * 6) + (6 * 4x) + (6 * 6)
Step 4: Simplify by combining like terms.
16x^2 + 24x + 24x + 36
Step 5: Further simplify by combining like terms.
16x^2 + 48x + 36
Therefore, the expression (4x + 6)^2 simplifies to 16x^2 + 48x + 36.
