Multiply the following:
(4x-2)(2x-4)
Show your work/thinking using the sketchpad.
To multiply (4x-2)(2x-4), we can use the distributive property to multiply each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression:
(4x)(2x) + (4x)(-4) + (-2)(2x) + (-2)(-4)
This simplifies to:
8x^2 - 16x - 4x + 8
Combining like terms, we get:
8x^2 - 20x + 8
Therefore, the product of (4x-2)(2x-4) is 8x^2 - 20x + 8.
