In summary, the conversation is about a math question and the confusion surrounding the answer and its form. The questioner is asking why the answer is in the form of (x+4)^2+2(x+4) instead of x^2+2x+4 and if there is a specific rule for this. The answerer clarifies that there are not three different (x+4) in the answer, and questions what part of the answer explains this.

I was wondering why this function was this answer and not X^2+2x+4 and why it is in the form that it is. Is it just some rule that you put it in that form? In the answer given, (x + 4)2 + 2(x + 4) , I don't understand how you get 3 different (x+4). Even though the answer is right there and it explains it I still don't get it. X^2+2x+4 makes sense to me.

Where do you see three different $(x+4)$ in $(x + 4)^2 + 2(x + 4)$?
