FOILing
The expression \[(x+8)^2\] is equivalent to: \[2x+16\] \[x^2+8x+64\] \[x^2+64\] \[x^2-64\] \[x^2+16x+64\]
I wanna say C or \[x^2+64\] ThTs what I got after distributing the \[^2\]
Split the expression, since it is by power of 2 then the expression is multiplied by itself. \(\bf{(x+8)(x+8)}\) So distribute. \(\bf{x^{2} +2x \times 8 + 8^{2}}\)
\[3x^2*8+64\] I did it soooo wrong
make sure to pair and multiply right. \(\bf{x^{2} + (2x \times8) + 8^{2}}\)
\[8x^2+16x\]
FOIL is just an acronym. The real rule to know regarding expanding binomials is the distributive property. You probably already know this one. a(b + c) = ab + ac In this case, let a = (x + 8) and b = x and c = 8 Then (x + 8)^2 = (x + 8)(x + 8) = (x + 8)x + (x + 8)8 = x^2 + 8x + 8x + 64 = x^2 + 16x + 64

Hope I didn't confuse you further.
Only slightly. S’ lot to take in at once.

If you simply apply the distributive property, and then simplify afterwards, you'll have it forever. No need for that silly FOIL again.
So the first part of the binomial is always 8?
A* not 8
Yes
The first binomial is always a
