Answer

$r^4 + 12r^3 + 54r^2 + 108r + 81$

Work Step by Step

1. Rewrite as product of binomials: $(r + 3)^4 = (r + 3)^2 \cdot (r + 3)^2$ 2. Square each: $(r + 3)^2 \cdot (r + 3)^2 = (r^2 + 6r + 9) \cdot (r^2 + 6r + 9)$ 3. Multiply the polynomials: $(r^2 + 6r + 9) \cdot (r^2 + 6r + 9) = r^4 + 6r^3 + 9r^2 + 6r^3 + 36r^2 + 54r + 9r^2 + 54r + 81$ 4. Combine like terms with addition: $r^4 + 6r^3 + 9r^2 + 6r^3 + 36r^2 + 54r + 9r^2 + 54r + 81 = r^4 + 12r^3 + 54r^2 + 108r + 81$ The result is $r^4 + 12r^3 + 54r^2 + 108r + 81$
