Using the distributive property, Marta multiplied the binomial (2x + 3) by the trinomial (x^2 + x β 2) and got the expression below. (2x)(x^2) + (2x)(x) + (2x)(β2) + (3)(x^2) + (3)(x) + (3)(β2) Which is the simplified product? 2x^3 + 6x^2 β x β 6 2x^3 + x^2 β x β 6 2x^3 + 5x^2 β x β 6 2x^3 β x^2 β 7x β 6

Step 1
Step 1:** Distribute the terms of the binomial (2x + 3) to the trinomial (x^2 + x - 2): (2x)(x^2) + (2x)(x) + (2x)(-2) + (3)(x^2) + (3)(x) + (3)(-2) ** Show moreβ¦

Perform the multiplication or division and simplify. $$\frac{x^{2}+7 x+12}{x^{2}+3 x+2} \cdot \frac{x^{2}+5 x+6}{x^{2}+6 x+9}$$
