%28x%2B1%29%5E4 : expand
%28x%2B1%29%28x%2B1%29%28x%2B1%29%28x%2B1%29: first pair foiled
%28xx%2B1x%2B1x%2B1%29%28x%2B1%29%28x%2B1%29: simplify
%28x%5E2%2B2x%2B1%29%28x%2B1%29%28x%2B1%29: distributive property on first pair
%28%28x%5E2%29+x+%2Bx%5E2+%2B+2xx+%2B+2x+%2B+1x+%2B1%29%28x%2B1%29: simplify
%28x%5E3+%2B+x%5E2+%2B+2x%5E2+%2B+2x+%2B+x+%2B+1%29+%28x%2B1%29: combine like terms
%28x%5E3+%2B+3x%5E2+%2B+3x+%2B+1%29+%28x%2B1%29: now distributive property on last pair
%28x%5E3%29+x+%2B+x%5E3+%2B+3x%5E2+x+%2B+3x%5E2+%2B+3x+x+%2B+3x+%2B+1x+%2B+1 : simplify
x%5E4+%2B+x%5E3+%2B+3x%5E3+%2B+3x%5E2+%2B+3x%5E2+%2B3x+%2B+1x+%2B+1 : combine like terms
x%5E4+%2B+4x%5E3+%2B+6x%5E2+%2B+4x+%2B+1
