Question 18 of 27beginner🔍 AnalyzeTrue / False2 marks

(x+2)(x+5)=(x+2)x+(x+2)5=x2+2x+5x+10=x2+7x+10(x + 2)(x + 5) = (x + 2)x + (x + 2)5 = x^2 + 2x + 5x + 10 = x^2 + 7x + 10

Correct Answer

True. The expansion is correct. Using the distributive property: (x+2)(x+5)=x2+5x+2x+10=x2+7x+10(x + 2)(x + 5) = x^2 + 5x + 2x + 10 = x^2 + 7x + 10. All steps are correctly applied.

Explanation

The chapter demonstrates expanding (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd(a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd. Here, (x+2)(x+5)=x⋅x+x⋅5+2⋅x+2⋅5=x2+5x+2x+10=x2+7x+10(x + 2)(x + 5) = x \cdot x + x \cdot 5 + 2 \cdot x + 2 \cdot 5 = x^2 + 5x + 2x + 10 = x^2 + 7x + 10.

Solution Steps

  1. Apply distributive property: (x+2)(x+5)(x + 2)(x + 5)

  2. =x2+5x+2x+10= x^2 + 5x + 2x + 10

  3. Combine like terms: x2+7x+10x^2 + 7x + 10
