Answer

$49-8\sqrt{3}$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$ or the square of a binomial, the expression $ \left( 4\sqrt{3}-1 \right)^2 $ simplifies to \begin{array}{l} \left( 4\sqrt{3} \right)^2+2\left( 4\sqrt{3} \right)(-1)+(-1)^2 \\\\= 16\cdot3-8\sqrt{3}+1 \\\\= 48-8\sqrt{3}+1 \\\\= 49-8\sqrt{3} .\end{array}
