| ① | Find $ \left(x+2\right)^2 $ using formula. $$ (A + B)^2 = \color{blue}{A^2} + 2 \cdot A \cdot B + \color{red}{B^2} $$where $ A = \color{blue}{ x } $ and $ B = \color{red}{ 2 }$. $$ \begin{aligned}\left(x+2\right)^2 = \color{blue}{x^2} +2 \cdot x \cdot 2 + \color{red}{2^2} = x^2+4x+4\end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ x^2+4x+ \color{blue}{4} \color{blue}{-3} = x^2+4x+ \color{blue}{1} $$ |
