For all x, (4_x –_ 3)2 =
12_x_2 + 24_x –_ 9
16_x_2 – 9
16_x_2 + 9
16_x_2 + 24_x_ + 9
16_x_2 – 24_x_ + 9
To solve this problem, you should FOIL: (4_x_ – 3)(4_x_ – 3) = 16_x_2 – 12_x –_ 12_x_ + 9 = 16_x_2 – 24_x_ + 9.

Expand the following expression:
FOIL and we get:
Then multiply it by and get:
Multiply the complex numbers:
.
Expanding out gives .
We know that so when we substitute that in we get
.
