Asked by Ms.Ellis

For Reiny:What step did I do wrong.(Help)

(x-4x^3)^2
=(x-4x^3)(x-4x^3)=(x)(x)+(x)(-4x^3)+(-4x^3)(x)+(-4x^3)(4x^3)

= x^2-4x^4-4x^4-16x^6
=x^2-8x^4-16x^6

-16x^2=>+16x^2
Answered by Reiny
should have looked a bit more carefully

the last term should be + 16x^6

(in your second line: should have been

=(x-4x^3)(x-4x^3)=(x)(x)+(x)(-4x^3)+(-4x^3)(x)+(-4x^3)<b>(-4x^3)</b>
