Q. Find the product. Simplify your answer. (4q+1)(4q+3)
Apply Distributive Property: Apply the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials) to multiply the first terms, the outer terms, the inner terms, and the last terms together.(4q+1)(4q+3)=4q(4q)+4q(3)+1(4q)+1(3)
Calculate First Terms: Calculate the product of the first terms: 4q(4q)=16q2.
Calculate Outer Terms: Calculate the product of the outer terms: 4q(3)=12q.
Calculate Inner Terms: Calculate the product of the inner terms: 1(4q)=4q.
Calculate Last Terms: Calculate the product of the last terms: 1(3)=3.
Combine Products: Combine all the products: 16q2+12q+4q+3.
Combine Like Terms: Combine like terms: 16q2+(12q+4q)+3=16q2+16q+3.
