Simplify (2x+3)2(2 x+3)^{2} and subtract it from 2x242 x^{2}-4 to get the result in standard polynomial form.

STEP 1

Assumptions
1. We are given the expression 2x242 x^{2}-4.
2. We are also given the expression (2x+3)2(2 x+3)^{2}.
3. We need to subtract the second expression from the first one.
4. The result should be written as a simplified polynomial in standard form.
5. Standard form for a polynomial is written with terms in descending order of their degrees.
6. There is a penalty of 0.25 off for incorrect answers, but this does not affect the mathematical solution.

STEP 2

First, we need to expand the expression (2x+3)2(2 x+3)^{2}.
(2x+3)2=(2x+3)(2x+3) (2 x+3)^{2} = (2 x+3)(2 x+3)

STEP 3

Now, use the distributive property (FOIL method) to expand the product.
(2x+3)(2x+3)=2x2x+2x3+32x+33 (2 x+3)(2 x+3) = 2 x \cdot 2 x + 2 x \cdot 3 + 3 \cdot 2 x + 3 \cdot 3

STEP 4

Perform the multiplication for each term.
2x2x=4x2 2 x \cdot 2 x = 4 x^{2} 2x3=6x 2 x \cdot 3 = 6 x 32x=6x 3 \cdot 2 x = 6 x 33=9 3 \cdot 3 = 9

STEP 5

Combine the like terms from the expansion.
4x2+6x+6x+9=4x2+12x+9 4 x^{2} + 6 x + 6 x + 9 = 4 x^{2} + 12 x + 9

STEP 6

Now, subtract the expanded expression from the first expression given.
(2x24)(4x2+12x+9) (2 x^{2}-4) - (4 x^{2} + 12 x + 9)

STEP 7

Distribute the subtraction across the terms in the second expression.
2x244x212x9 2 x^{2}-4 - 4 x^{2} - 12 x - 9

STEP 8

Combine like terms by subtracting the coefficients of the terms with the same degree.
For the x2x^{2} terms: 2x24x2=2x2 2 x^{2} - 4 x^{2} = -2 x^{2}
For the xx terms: Since there is no xx term in the first expression, we only have the 12x-12 x term.
For the constant terms: 49=13 -4 - 9 = -13

STEP 9

Write the final simplified polynomial in standard form, which is in descending order of the degrees of the terms.
2x212x13 -2 x^{2} - 12 x - 13
This is the result when (2x+3)2(2 x+3)^{2} is subtracted from 2x242 x^{2}-4.
