Answer

$x^3+12x^2+48x+64$

Work Step by Step

We rewrite the given expression: $(x+4)^3=(x+4)^2(x+4)$ We use the Square of a Binomial rule: $(x+4)^2(x+4)$ $=(x^2+8x+16)(x+4).$ Then we use the FOIL rule: $(x^2+8x+16)(x+4)$ $=x^3+4x^2+8x^2+32x+16x+64$ $=x^3+12x^2+48x+64.$ Note: There is a rule for the Cube of a Binomial: $(a+b)^3=a^3+3a^2b+3ab^2+b^3$
