1. Problem Description

The problem asks us to expand the product of two binomials: (2x+7)(2x7)(2x+7)(2x-7).

2. Solution Steps

We can expand the product using the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method):
(2x+7)(2x7)=(2x)(2x)+(2x)(7)+(7)(2x)+(7)(7)(2x+7)(2x-7) = (2x)(2x) + (2x)(-7) + (7)(2x) + (7)(-7)
=4x214x+14x49= 4x^2 - 14x + 14x - 49
Since 14x+14x=0-14x + 14x = 0, we have
4x2494x^2 - 49
Alternatively, we can recognize that this is in the form of a difference of squares: (a+b)(ab)=a2b2(a+b)(a-b) = a^2 - b^2. In this case, a=2xa = 2x and b=7b = 7. Therefore:
(2x+7)(2x7)=(2x)2(7)2(2x+7)(2x-7) = (2x)^2 - (7)^2
=4x249= 4x^2 - 49

3. Final Answer

4x2494x^2 - 49
