Simplify 2x*(2x)

Problem

2*x⋅(2*x)

Solution

1. Identify the expression as a product of two identical terms, 2*x and 2*x

2. Apply the associative and commutative properties of multiplication to group the numerical coefficients and the variables separately.

2⋅2⋅x⋅x

3. Multiply the coefficients together.

2⋅2=4

4. Multiply the variables together using the product rule for exponents, where x1⋅x1=x(1+1)

x⋅x=x2

5. Combine the results into a single simplified term.

4*x2

Final Answer

2*x⋅(2*x)=4*x2
