For this case we must simplify the following expression:
[tex](x + 2) (x + 6)[/tex]
Applying distributive property we have:
[tex](a + b) (c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd[/tex]
[tex]x ^ 2 + 6x + 2x + 12[/tex]
By grouping similar terms we have:
[tex]x ^ 2 + 8x + 12[/tex]
So, we have to:
[tex](x + 2) (x + 6) = x ^ 2 + 8x + 12[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]x ^ 2 + 8x + 12[/tex]
