question
express as a trinomial.
(3x + 4)(2x + 4)
answer attempt 1 out of 10

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property (FOIL)

Multiply the First terms: \(3x \times 2x = 6x^2\)
Multiply the Outer terms: \(3x \times 4 = 12x\)
Multiply the Inner terms: \(4 \times 2x = 8x\)
Multiply the Last terms: \(4 \times 4 = 16\)

Step2: Combine like terms

Add the middle terms: \(12x + 8x = 20x\)

Step3: Write the trinomial

Combine all terms: \(6x^2 + 20x + 16\)

Answer:

\(6x^2 + 20x + 16\)
