$x^{2\left(a+1\right)}-8x^{\left(a+1\right)}x^{\left(a-2\right)}+\left(-4x^{\left(a-2\right)}\right)^2$
Learn how to solve special products problems step by step online. Expand the expression (x^(a+1)-4x^(a-2))^2. Expand \left(x^{\left(a+1\right)}-4x^{\left(a-2\right)}\right)^2. Apply the exponent property of product of powers: x^a\cdot x^b=x^{a+b}. Subtract the values 1 and -2. Combining like terms a and a.
