7.3 multiplying polynomials quiz
simplify: \\((x + 6)(x + 2)\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(x^2 + 4x + 12\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(x^2 + 8x + 12\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(x^2 + 12x + 12\\)
\\(\bigcirc\\) \\(x^2 + 8x + 8\\)
Expand the binomials
Using the Multiplying Polynomials knowledge point
$$
(x + 6)(x + 2) = x(x + 2) + 6(x + 2) = x^2 + 2x + 6x + 12
$$
Combine like terms
Using the Multiplying Polynomials knowledge point
$$
x^2 + (2x + 6x) + 12 = x^2 + 8x + 12
$$
