Options
A
x2 + 8x + 8
B
x2 + 6x + 8
C
x2 + 6x + 6
D
x2 + 6x - 8
Answer & Analysis
Answer
B
Analysis
To expand the expression (x + 4)(x + 2), we can use the distributive property and multiply each term of the first expression by each term of the second expression:
(x + 4)(x + 2) = x * (x + 2) + 4 * (x + 2)
Expanding further:
= x2 + 2x + 4x + 8
