Simplifying the Expression (6m^2 - 8mn + 4n^2)(8m + 8n)
This expression involves multiplying a trinomial (6m^2 - 8mn + 4n^2) by a binomial (8m + 8n). We can simplify it using the distributive property.
Here's how:
-
Distribute the first term of the binomial: (8m)(6m^2 - 8mn + 4n^2) = 48m^3 - 64m^2n + 32mn^2
-
Distribute the second term of the binomial: (8n)(6m^2 - 8mn + 4n^2) = 48m^2n - 64mn^2 + 32n^3
-
Combine the results from steps 1 and 2: 48m^3 - 64m^2n + 32mn^2 + 48m^2n - 64mn^2 + 32n^3
-
Simplify by combining like terms: 48m^3 - 16m^2n - 32mn^2 + 32n^3
Therefore, the simplified form of the expression (6m^2 - 8mn + 4n^2)(8m + 8n) is 48m^3 - 16m^2n - 32mn^2 + 32n^3.
