Expand Using the Binomial Theorem (4m-4)^2

${(4 m - 4)}^{2}$

Step 1

Use the binomial expansion theorem to find each term. The binomial theorem states ${(a + b)}^{n} = \sum_{k = 0}^{n} n C k \cdot (a^{n - k} b^{k})$ .

$\sum_{k = 0}^{2} \frac{2!}{(2 - k)! k!} \cdot {(4 m)}^{2 - k} \cdot {(- 4)}^{k}$

Step 2

Expand the summation.

$\frac{2!}{(2 - 0)! 0!} \cdot {(4 m)}^{2 - 0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{0} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 1)! 1!} \cdot {(4 m)}^{2 - 1} \cdot {(- 4)}^{1} + \frac{2!}{(2 - 2)! 2!} \cdot {(4 m)}^{2 - 2} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Step 3

Simplify the exponents for each term of the expansion.

$1 \cdot {(4 m)}^{2} \cdot {(- 4)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(4 m)}^{1} \cdot {(- 4)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(4 m)}^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Step 4

Simplify each term.

Multiply ${(4 m)}^{2}$ by $1$ .

${(4 m)}^{2} \cdot {(- 4)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(4 m)}^{1} \cdot {(- 4)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(4 m)}^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Apply the product rule to $4 m$ .

$4^{2} m^{2} \cdot {(- 4)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(4 m)}^{1} \cdot {(- 4)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(4 m)}^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Raise $4$ to the power of $2$ .

$16 m^{2} \cdot {(- 4)}^{0} + 2 \cdot {(4 m)}^{1} \cdot {(- 4)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(4 m)}^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$16 m^{2} \cdot 1 + 2 \cdot {(4 m)}^{1} \cdot {(- 4)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(4 m)}^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Multiply $16$ by $1$ .

$16 m^{2} + 2 \cdot {(4 m)}^{1} \cdot {(- 4)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(4 m)}^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Simplify.

$16 m^{2} + 2 \cdot (4 m) \cdot {(- 4)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(4 m)}^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Multiply $4$ by $2$ .

$16 m^{2} + 8 m \cdot {(- 4)}^{1} + 1 \cdot {(4 m)}^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Evaluate the exponent.

$16 m^{2} + 8 m \cdot - 4 + 1 \cdot {(4 m)}^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Multiply $- 4$ by $8$ .

$16 m^{2} - 32 m + 1 \cdot {(4 m)}^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Multiply ${(4 m)}^{0}$ by $1$ .

$16 m^{2} - 32 m + {(4 m)}^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Apply the product rule to $4 m$ .

$16 m^{2} - 32 m + 4^{0} m^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$16 m^{2} - 32 m + 1 m^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Multiply $m^{0}$ by $1$ .

$16 m^{2} - 32 m + m^{0} \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Anything raised to $0$ is $1$ .

$16 m^{2} - 32 m + 1 \cdot {(- 4)}^{2}$

Multiply ${(- 4)}^{2}$ by $1$ .

$16 m^{2} - 32 m + {(- 4)}^{2}$

Raise $- 4$ to the power of $2$ .

$16 m^{2} - 32 m + 16$
