① | Multiply $ \color{blue}{6} $ by $ \left( 2t+1\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{6} \cdot \left( 2t+1\right) = 12t+6 $$ |
② | Find $ \left(2t+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}{ 2t } $ and $ B = \color{red}{ 1 }$. $$ \begin{aligned}\left(2t+1\right)^2 = \color{blue}{\left( 2t \right)^2} +2 \cdot 2t \cdot 1 + \color{red}{1^2} = 4t^2+4t+1\end{aligned} $$ |
③ | Multiply $ \color{blue}{6} $ by $ \left( 2t+1\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{6} \cdot \left( 2t+1\right) = 12t+6 $$ |
④ | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{t^2+6t+8}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( t^2+6t+8\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{t^2+6t+8}\right) \cdot \left( t^2+6t+8\right) = t^4+6t^3+8t^2+6t^3+36t^2+48t+8t^2+48t+64 $$ |
⑤ | Combine like terms: $$ t^4+ \color{blue}{6t^3} + \color{red}{8t^2} + \color{blue}{6t^3} + \color{green}{36t^2} + \color{orange}{48t} + \color{green}{8t^2} + \color{orange}{48t} +64 = \\ = t^4+ \color{blue}{12t^3} + \color{green}{52t^2} + \color{orange}{96t} +64 $$ |
⑥ | Multiply $ \color{blue}{4} $ by $ \left( 4t^2+4t+1\right) $ $$ \color{blue}{4} \cdot \left( 4t^2+4t+1\right) = 16t^2+16t+4 $$ |
⑦ | To subtract raitonal expressions, both fractions must have the same denominator. |
