Solution
Solution Steps
To write \((4x)^2\) without exponents, we need to expand the expression. This involves multiplying \(4x\) by itself.
Solution Approach
Recognize that \((4x)^2\) means \((4x) \times (4x)\).
Multiply the constants and the variables separately.
Combine the results to get the expanded form.
Step 1: Expand the Expression
To write \((4x)^2\) without exponents, we need to expand the expression. This involves multiplying \(4x\) by itself:
\[
(4x)^2 = (4x) \times (4x)
\]
Step 2: Multiply the Constants and Variables
Next, we multiply the constants and the variables separately:
\[
(4x) \times (4x) = 4 \times 4 \times x \times x = 16x^2
\]
