Multiply and simplify. 4x+4/x^2 × (x+2)(x-1)/x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

(x^2 - 4)(x^2 - 4)

Simplifying

(x2 + -4)(x2 + -4)

Reorder the terms:

(-4 + x2)(x2 + -4)

Reorder the terms:

(-4 + x2)(-4 + x2)

Multiply (-4 + x2) * (-4 + x2)

(-4(-4 + x2) + x2(-4 + x2))

((-4 * -4 + x2 * -4) + x2(-4 + x2))

((16 + -4x2) + x2(-4 + x2))

(16 + -4x2 + (-4 * x2 + x2 * x2))

(16 + -4x2 + (-4x2 + x4))

Combine like terms: -4x2 + -4x2 = -8x2

(16 + -8x2 + x4)
