Expand.
If necessary, combine like terms.
(4x + 1)(4x + 1) =

16x² + 8x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

(4x + 1)(4x + 1)

This expansion can be done in two ways either by direct expansion or by indirect expansion

(1) Direct expansion

(4x + 1)(4x + 1 )

4x X 4x + 4x X 1 + 1 X 4x + 1 X 1

= 16x² + 4x + 4x + 1

= 16x² + 8x + 1

(2) Method

This can be written thus:

(4x + 1 )(4x + 1 ) = (4x + 1 )²

= (4x)² + 2( 4x X 1 ) + 1²

= 16x² + 2(4x) + 1

= 16x² + 8x + 1.

7 ft 6 in means 7 1/2, because 6 in is 1/2 of a foot. 7 ft 8 in means 7 2/3 because 8 in is 2/3 of a foot. 23/3 = 7 2/3. 15/2 = 7 1/2.

23/3   *   15/2   = 57 1/2
