multiply...(4x+2)(4x+2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

16x+8x+8x+4 = 16x+16x+4 =32x+4 Use the foil method and combine like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you use FOIL and your answer is 32x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its asking to use the distributive law and im getting confused after combining the terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know the foil method?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no i dont

OpenStudy (anonymous):

FOIL = First, Outer, Inner, Last So to solve the problem (4x+2)(4x+2) You first multiply 4x by 4x because those are the FIRST numbers in both parenthesis

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then you multiply the OUTER numbers which are 4x and 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the inner numbers which are 2 and 4x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then the last which are 2 and 2 you simplify it and thats it
