Step-by-step solution

To solve this problem, we'll follow these steps:

  • Step 1: Identify the terms in the binomial (2x+?)2(2x + ?)^2.
  • Step 2: Apply the formula (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2 to ascertain missing values.
  • Step 3: Compare with given expanded form and determine the missing terms.

Now, let's work through each step:
Step 1: We have (2x+?)2(2x + ?)^2. Here, a=2xa = 2x and the missing term replaces ?. Assume it is bb.
Step 2: Use the formula (a+b)2=a2+2ab+b2(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2. Replace aa with 2x2x giving a2=(2x)2=4x2a^2 = (2x)^2 = 4x^2.
Step 3: Comparison with expanded result: We need 2ab2ab and b2b^2 such that (4x2+2ab+b2=4x2+16x+?(4x^2 + 2ab + b^2 = 4x^2 + 16x + ?). For 2ab=16x2ab = 16x, 2(2x)(b)=16x2(2x)(b) = 16x implies b=4b = 4. Substituting b=4b = 4, we calculate: b2=42=16b^2 = 4^2 = 16.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is the missing numbers are 4, 16.
