Let's begin by solving the problems in the image you've uploaded.
1. (x+2)(x+4)
We apply the distributive property (FOIL method):
(x+2)(x+4)=x2+4x+2x+8=x2+6x+8
2. (x−5)(x+6)
Using the distributive property:
(x−5)(x+6)=x2+6x−5x−30=x2+x−30
3. (y+6)(y−10)
Using the distributive property:
(y+6)(y−10)=y2−10y+6y−60=y2−4y−60
4. (x−8)(x−7)
Using the distributive property:
(x−8)(x−7)=x2−7x−8x+56=x2−15x+56
5. (a+2)(3a−5)
Using the distributive property:
(a+2)(3a−5)=a(3a−5)+2(3a−5)=3a2−5a+6a−10=3a2+a−10
6. (z−4)(6z+1)
Using the distributive property:
(z−4)(6z+1)=z(6z+1)−4(6z+1)=6z2+z−24z−4=6z2−23z−4
7. (a+3)(a2+4a−1)
Using the distributive property:
(a+3)(a2+4a−1)=a(a2+4a−1)+3(a2+4a−1)=a3+4a2−a+3a2+12a−3
=a3+7a2+11a−3
8. (t−2)(t2+3t+4)
Using the distributive property:
(t−2)(t2+3t+4)=t(t2+3t+4)−2(t2+3t+4)
=t3+3t2+4t−2t2−6t−8=t3+t2−2t−8
9. (4x−2)(3x2−2x−5)
Using the distributive property:
(4x−2)(3x2−2x−5)=4x(3x2−2x−5)−2(3x2−2x−5)
=12x3−8x2−20x−6x2+4x+10=12x3−14x2−16x+10
10. (5y+1)(2y2−y+3)
Using the distributive property:
(5y+1)(2y2−y+3)=5y(2y2−y+3)+1(2y2−y+3)
=10y3−5y2+15y+2y2−y+3=10y3−3y2+14y+3
