Question
7.3 multiplying polynomials quiz
simplify: \\((x + 7)(x + 3)\\)
\\(x^2 + 21x + 10\\)
\\(x^2 + 10x + 21\\)
\\(x^2 + 8x + 21\\)
\\(x^2 + 10x + 12\\)
Apply the distributive property
Using the Multiplying Polynomials knowledge point
$$
(x + 7)(x + 3) = x(x + 3) + 7(x + 3)
$$
Expand the terms
Using the Multiplying Polynomials knowledge point
$$
x(x + 3) + 7(x + 3) = x^2 + 3x + 7x + 21
$$
Combine like terms
Using the Multiplying Polynomials knowledge point
$$
x^2 + (3x + 7x) + 21 = x^2 + 10x + 21
$$
