You asked:

Evaluate the expression: \({\left( 4 - -2 \right)}^{2} + 4 \cdot -1\)

MathBot Answer:

\[{\left( 4 - -2 \right)}^{2} + 4 \cdot -1 = 32\]


\[\begin{aligned}{\left( 4 - -2 \right)}^{2} + 4 \cdot -1& = \left(4 + 2\right)^{2} + 4 \cdot -1\\& = 6^{2} + 4 \cdot -1\\& = 36 + 4 \cdot -1\\& = 36 - 4\\& = 32\end{aligned}\]
