(2x + 3)^4
=(2x)^4 + 4*((2x)^3)*(3) + 6*((2x)^2)*(3^2) + 4*(2x)*(3^3) + 3^4
=16x^4 + 96x^3 + 216x^2 + 216x + 81
21.
(x^2 + 5)^4
=x^4 + 4*(x^3)*(5) + 6*(x^2)*(5^2) + 4*x*(5^3) + 5^4
=x^4 + 20x^3 + 150x^2 + 500x + 625

20. (2x + 3)^4 :
we know that (x+y) ^2 = x^2 + 2*x*y + y^2
so (x+y)^4 =[ (x+y) ^2] * [ (x+y) ^2 ] = (x^2 + 2*x*y + y^2 ) * (x^2 + 2*x*y + y^2 ) = x^4 + 4*x^3y+ 6*x^2*y^2 + 4xy^3 + y^4,
substitute 2x for x and 3 for y into the above equation and then you can get the result as =16x^4 + 96x^3 + 216x^2 + 216x + 81
