Answer:

[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf x^2+8x+16}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Express as an Equivalent Trinomial

To multiply two binomials (expressions with 2 terms), we can use the FOIL (first, outside, inside, last) method.

We are given this expression:

[tex](x+4)^2[/tex]

The expression (x+4) is being squared, which is equal to multiplying the term by itself twice.

[tex](x+4)(x+4)[/tex]

Next, multiply the first terms from both binomials, then repeat for the outside, inside, and last terms.

  • First: x*x= x²
  • Outside: x*4= 4x
  • Inside: 4 *x= 4x
  • Last: 4*4= 16

Put the products into one expression.

[tex]x^2+4x+4x+16[/tex]

Combine like terms. 4x and 4x both have the variable x, so they can be combined.

[tex]x^2+(4x+4x)+16[/tex]

[tex]x^2+8x+16[/tex]

2. Test using x=1

Next, substitute 1 in for x in both the original expression and the trinomial we found. If they are equivalent, the results will be the same.

1. (x+4)²

(1+4)²

(5)² = 25 [tex]\checkmark[/tex]

2. x²+8x+16

(1)²+8(1)+16

1+8(1)+16

1+8+16

9+16= 25 [tex]\checkmark[/tex]

If x=1, both the original binomial and trinomial equal 25, so we know they are equivalent.
