How to find the product?
For example
(h+4)(h-4)
Is That The Question?
Yes, I think I got it.
h2+8h+-16
H2-16=0
H2=16
squareroot of 16 = 4
To find the product (h+4)(h-4), we can use the distributive property of multiplication over addition. Here's the step-by-step process:
1. First, multiply the first terms of each binomial: h * h = h^2.
2. Next, multiply the outer terms: h * -4 = -4h.
3. Then, multiply the inner terms: 4 * h = 4h.
4. Finally, multiply the last terms of each binomial: 4 * -4 = -16.
Now, we can combine these products to get the final result:
(h+4)(h-4) = h^2 - 4h + 4h - 16.
Simplifying further:
(h+4)(h-4) = h^2 - 16.
So, the product of (h+4)(h-4) is h^2 - 16.
