| ① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{x^2} $ by $ \left( 4-x\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{x^2} \cdot \left( 4-x\right) = 4x^2-x^3 $$ |
| ② | Find $ \left(4-x\right)^3 $ using formula $$ (A - B) = A^3 - 3A^2B + 3AB^2 - B^3 $$where $ A = 4 $ and $ B = x $. $$ \left(4-x\right)^3 = 4^3-3 \cdot 4^2 \cdot x + 3 \cdot 4 \cdot x^2-x^3 = 64-48x+12x^2-x^3 $$ |
| ③ | Add $4x^2-x^3$ and $ \dfrac{64-48x+12x^2-x^3}{3} $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -4x^3+24x^2-48x+64 } }{ 3 }$. Step 1: Write $ 4x^2-x^3 $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
| ④ | Add $ \dfrac{-4x^3+24x^2-48x+64}{3} $ and $ 4-x $ to get $ \dfrac{ \color{purple}{ -4x^3+24x^2-51x+76 } }{ 3 }$. Step 1: Write $ 4-x $ as a fraction by putting $ \color{red}{ 1 } $ in the denominator. Step 2: To add raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
