Q. Expand.Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form.
- Apply distributive property: Apply the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials) to expand the expression .First, multiply the first terms in each binomial: .
- Multiply first terms: Multiply the outer terms in the binomials: .
- Multiply outer terms: Multiply the inner terms in the binomials: .
- Multiply inner terms: Multiply the last terms in each binomial: .
- Multiply last terms: Combine the like terms from the products obtained in steps and ..
- Combine like terms: Write the expanded form by combining all the products from steps , , , and . .
- Write expanded form: Ensure that the polynomial is in standard form, which means it should be written in descending order of the powers of .The terms are already in descending order: (second-degree term), (first-degree term), and (constant term).
