Full solution

Q. Find the product. Simplify your answer.\newline(3w4)(3w+4)(3w - 4)(3w + 4)
  1. Identify Special Case: Identify the special case for the product (3w4)(3w+4)(3w - 4)(3w + 4). This product is in the form of (ab)(a+b)(a - b)(a + b), which is a difference of squares. Special case: (ab)(a+b)=a2b2(a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2
  2. Identify Values of aa and bb: Identify the values of aa and bb. Compare (3w4)(3w+4)(3w - 4)(3w + 4) with (ab)(a+b)(a - b)(a + b). a=3wa = 3w b=4b = 4
  3. Apply Difference of Squares Formula: Apply the difference of squares formula to expand (3w4)(3w+4)(3w - 4)(3w + 4).\newline(ab)(a+b)=a2b2(a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2\newline(3w4)(3w+4)=(3w)2(4)2(3w - 4)(3w + 4) = (3w)^2 - (4)^2
  4. Simplify Expression: Simplify (3w)2(4)2.(3w)^2 - (4)^2.(3w)2(4)2(3w)^2 - (4)^2=(3w×3w)(4×4)= (3w \times 3w) - (4 \times 4)=9w216= 9w^2 - 16
