Short Answer

Materials Cost Expansion

A construction estimator is using the Vertical Method to multiply a materials cost function (2x2−3x+5)(2x^2 - 3x + 5) by a site scaling factor (x+4)(x + 4). When aligning the partial products, they need to combine the terms in the x2x^2 column. Based on the Vertical Method procedure, identify the two partial product terms that appear in the x2x^2 column and state their final sum.
