Question

find the product. simplify your answer.
(h + 2)(h - 1)

Explanation:

Step1: Apply FOIL method

$(h+2)(h-1) = h\cdot h + h\cdot(-1) + 2\cdot h + 2\cdot(-1)$

Step2: Calculate each term

$= h^2 - h + 2h - 2$

Step3: Combine like terms

$= h^2 + (-1+2)h - 2 = h^2 + h - 2$

Answer:

$h^2 + h - 2$
