Answer 1

Answer:

8x³ + 12x² - 16x - 16

General Formulas and Concepts:

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
• Distributive Property

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define expression

(4x² - 2x - 4)(2x + 4)

Step 2: Simplify

1. Expand:                                       8x³ - 4x² - 8x + 16x² - 8x - 16
2. Combine like terms (x²):             8x³ + 12x² - 8x - 8x - 16
3. Combine like terms (x):              8x³ + 12x² - 16x - 16
