Applying the Binomial Squares Pattern in Engineering

A structural engineer is solving the radical equation q2+3=4q+1\sqrt{q - 2} + 3 = \sqrt{4q + 1} to calculate the load-bearing capacity of a support truss. In the first step of the solution, the engineer must square both sides, resulting in the expression (q2+3)2(\sqrt{q - 2} + 3)^2 on the left side. What is the name of the specific algebraic product pattern that must be recalled and applied to correctly expand this expression?
