Answer

$ 1 - 6r + 12r^2 - 8r^3$

Work Step by Step

$Multiply$ $the$ $algebraic$ $expressions$ $using$ $a$ $Special$ $Product$ $Formula$ $and$ $simplify:$ $(1-2r)^3$ Use the Cube of a Difference Formula: $(A-B)^3 = A^3 - 3A^2B + 3AB^2 - B^3$ $(1-2r)^3$ = $1^3$ - $(3\times 1^2 \times 2r)$ + $(3\times 1 \times (2r)^2)$ - $(2r)^3$ $= 1 - 6r + 12r^2 - 8r^3$
