(4x + 2)*2
2*4x + 2*2
8x + 4
the following are applications on the identity (a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2
(c - d)(c + d) = c*c + c*d - d*c - d*d = c^2 - d^2
(5x + 2)(5x - 2) = 5x*5x - 2*5x + 2*5x - 2*2 = 25x^2 - 4
just multiply all terms individually. I'll do the first two:
(g-12)^2
(g-12)*(g-12)
That's g*g+ g*(-12)+ (-12)*g+ (-12)*(-12)
g^2+-12g+-12g+144
g^2-24g+144
(4x+2)^2
(4x+2)(4x+2)
4x*4x+4x*2+2*4x+2*2
16x^2(remember to multiply the constant AND the variable)+8x+8x+4
16x^2+16x+4
