%284x%2B1%29%282x%5E2%2Bx%2B1%29 Start with the given expression.


4x%282x%5E2%2Bx%2B1%29%2B1%282x%5E2%2Bx%2B1%29 Expand.


Distribute.


8%2Ax%5E3%2B4%2Ax%5E2%2B4%2Ax%2B2%2Ax%5E2%2Bx%2B1 Multiply.


8%2Ax%5E3%2B6%2Ax%5E2%2B5%2Ax%2B1 Now combine like terms.


So %284x%2B1%29%282x%5E2%2Bx%2B1%29 expands to 8%2Ax%5E3%2B6%2Ax%5E2%2B5%2Ax%2B1.


In other words, %284x%2B1%29%282x%5E2%2Bx%2B1%29=8%2Ax%5E3%2B6%2Ax%5E2%2B5%2Ax%2B1.
