Multiply two binomials

Full solution

Q. Find the product. Simplify your answer.

\newline

(4j - 1)(4j + 3)

Apply Distributive Property: Apply the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials) to multiply the two binomials. $\newline$ $(4j - 1)(4j + 3) = 4j(4j) + 4j(3) - 1(4j) - 1(3)$
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication for each term. $\newline$ $4j(4j) = 16j^2$ $\newline$ $4j(3) = 12j$ $\newline$ $-1(4j) = -4j$ $\newline$ $-1(3) = -3$
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms. $\newline$ $16j^2 + 12j - 4j - 3$ $\newline$ $16j^2 + (12j - 4j) - 3$ $\newline$ $16j^2 + 8j - 3$
