Question
Simplify:
$ (2 x-1)(2 x+1)\left(4 x^2+1\right)\left(16 x^4+1\right) $

Answer

To simplify, we will proceed as follows:
$ (2 x-1)(2 x+1)\left(4 x^2+1\right)\left(16 x^4+1\right) $
$ =\left((2 x)^2-1^2\right)\left(4 x^2+1\right)\left(16 x^4+1\right)\left[\because(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\right] $
$ =\left(4 x^2-1\right)\left(4 x^2+1\right)\left(16 x^4+1\right) $
$ =\left\{\left(4 x^2\right)^2-\left(1^2\right)^2\right\}\left(16 x^4+1\right)\left[\because(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\right] $
$ =\left(16 x^4-1\right)\left(16 x^4+1\right)$
$ =\left(16 x^4\right)^2-1^2\left[\because(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2\right] $
$ =256 x^8-1 $

An insect is on the $0$ point of a number line, hopping towards $1$. She covers half the distance from her current location to $1$ with each hop. So, she will be at $\frac{1}{2}$ after one hop, $\frac{3}{4}$ after two hops, and so on.
$a.$ Make a table showing the insect’s location for the first $10$ hops.
$b.$ Where will the insect be after $n$ hops?
$c.$ Will the insect ever get to $1$? Explain.
