$\"%28x%2B4%29%5E3\"$ Start with the given expression\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B4%29%28x%2B4%29%28x%2B4%29\"$ Expand\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%5E2%2B8x%2B16%29%28x%2B4%29\"$ Foil the first two binomials\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28x%2B4%29%28x%5E2%2B8x%2B16%29\"$ Rearrange the terms\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%28x%5E2%2B8x%2B16%29%2B4%28x%5E2%2B8x%2B16%29\"$ Expand. Remember, $\"%28a%2Bb%29%28c%2Bd%2Be%29\"$ expands to $\"a%28c%2Bd%2Be%29%2Bb%28c%2Bd%2Be%29\"$ \r
\n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " $\"x%5E3%2B12%2Ax%5E2%2B48%2Ax%2B64\"$ Now combine like terms.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "So $\"%28x%2B4%29%5E3\"$ expands to $\"x%5E3%2B12%2Ax%5E2%2B48%2Ax%2B64\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "In other words, $\"%28x%2B4%29%5E3=x%5E3%2B12%2Ax%5E2%2B48%2Ax%2B64\"$ .\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
