| ① | Find $ \left(9t+1\right)^2 $ using formula. $$ (A + B)^2 = \color{blue}{A^2} + 2 \cdot A \cdot B + \color{red}{B^2} $$where $ A = \color{blue}{ 9t } $ and $ B = \color{red}{ 1 }$. $$ \begin{aligned}\left(9t+1\right)^2 = \color{blue}{\left( 9t \right)^2} +2 \cdot 9t \cdot 1 + \color{red}{1^2} = 81t^2+18t+1\end{aligned} $$Find $ \left(3t+1\right)^2 $ using formula. $$ (A + B)^2 = \color{blue}{A^2} + 2 \cdot A \cdot B + \color{red}{B^2} $$where $ A = \color{blue}{ 3t } $ and $ B = \color{red}{ 1 }$. $$ \begin{aligned}\left(3t+1\right)^2 = \color{blue}{\left( 3t \right)^2} +2 \cdot 3t \cdot 1 + \color{red}{1^2} = 9t^2+6t+1\end{aligned} $$ |
| ② | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{9t^2+6t+1}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 12t+1\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{9t^2+6t+1}\right) \cdot \left( 12t+1\right) = 108t^3+9t^2+72t^2+6t+12t+1 $$ |
| ③ | Combine like terms: $$ 108t^3+81t^2+18t+1 = 108t^3+81t^2+18t+1 $$ |
| ④ | Remove the parentheses by changing the sign of each term within them. $$ - \left( 108t^3+81t^2+18t+1 \right) = -108t^3-81t^2-18t-1 $$ |
| ⑤ | Combine like terms: $$ \, \color{blue}{ \cancel{108t^3}} \,+ \, \color{green}{ \cancel{81t^2}} \,+ \, \color{blue}{ \cancel{18t}} \,+ \, \color{green}{ \cancel{1}} \, \, \color{blue}{ -\cancel{108t^3}} \, \, \color{green}{ -\cancel{81t^2}} \, \, \color{blue}{ -\cancel{18t}} \, \, \color{green}{ -\cancel{1}} \, = \color{green}{0} $$ |
