Question 50574: I don't understand the instructions given to me. They read as follows: Find the product of the polynomials.
1. (4x-1)^2
What I tried is multiplying (4x-1)(4x-1); my final answer was 16x^2-8x+1
I just don't know if that's what I'm supposed to do. Answer by mszlmb(115) (Show Source):
I don't understand the instructions given to me. They read as follows: Find the product of the polynomials.
1. (4x-1)^2
polynomials are numbers like x2. a product is the answer of a multiplication problem. find the product of the polynomials means find the [multiplicated] answer of the polynomial problem (4x-1)2.
(4x-1)2
=(4x-1)(4x-1)
=16x2-4x-4x+1
=16x2-8x+1
you're right, and you're right!
