| ① | Find $ \left(6+dx\right)^3 $ using formula $$ (A + B) = A^3 + 3A^2B + 3AB^2 + B^3 $$where $ A = 6 $ and $ B = dx $. $$ \left(6+dx\right)^3 = 6^3+3 \cdot 6^2 \cdot dx + 3 \cdot 6 \cdot \left( dx \right)^2+\left( dx \right)^3 = 216+108dx+18d^2x^2+d^3x^3 $$Find $ \left(4+dx\right)^3 $ using formula $$ (A + B) = A^3 + 3A^2B + 3AB^2 + B^3 $$where $ A = 4 $ and $ B = dx $. $$ \left(4+dx\right)^3 = 4^3+3 \cdot 4^2 \cdot dx + 3 \cdot 4 \cdot \left( dx \right)^2+\left( dx \right)^3 = 64+48dx+12d^2x^2+d^3x^3 $$ |
| ② | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 64+48dx+12d^2x^2+d^3x^3 \right) = -64-48dx-12d^2x^2-d^3x^3 $$ |
