Question

(4x+1)(4x+1)


im so confused

Answer 1

16 x 2 + 8x + 1

Explanation:

Using the foil method we expanded the polynomial.

Answer 2

16x² + 8x + 1

Explanation:

(4x + 1)(4x + 1)

each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

4x(4x + 1) + 1(4x + 1) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 16x² + 4x + 4x + 1 ← collect like terms

= 16x² + 8x + 1
