Math Problem Statement

(x+2)(x+3)

Solution

To expand the expression (x+2)(x+3)(x + 2)(x + 3), we can use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials):

(x+2)(x+3)=x(x+3)+2(x+3)(x + 2)(x + 3) = x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3)

Now, distribute each term:

=x2+3x+2x+6= x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6

Combine like terms:

=x2+5x+6= x^2 + 5x + 6

So, (x+2)(x+3)=x2+5x+6(x + 2)(x + 3) = x^2 + 5x + 6.

  2. What are other methods to expand binomials, like the box method?
  3. How can we graph the equation y=x2+5x+6y = x^2 + 5x + 6?
  4. How do we solve the equation (x+2)(x+3)=0(x+2)(x+3) = 0?
  5. What is the relationship between the roots of a quadratic and its factors?

Tip: The distributive property is useful when multiplying polynomials and can simplify more complex algebraic expressions.
