In case you just want the answers, and not how to get them, 
just to fool your teacher into thinking you know how to do them, 
here they are:



6a^2x^2 + 4ax + 4bx^2 + 1

1 + (6a^2+4b)x^2 + 6a^2x^2

 since these are 

then  

Simplifying:







But if you want to know how to get these answers then ask me
in the space below, and I'll get back to you by email
