Vertical Multiplying Polynomials!

http://www.purplemath.com/modules/polymult.htm

First step: Simplify (x + 3)(x + 2)

Second Step: top terms = (x + 3)

Second terms= (x + 2)

like a regular multiplication problem, you set up the equation like this:

Third step: multiply the 2 and the 3 and then the 2 and the x.

then the x and 3 and the x and x.

Step 4: you add your answers and end up with: x² + 5x + 6!
