Answer

(a) $11x-2$ (b) $4x^2 + 7x -15$ (c) $a-b$ (d) $4x^2+12x+9$ (e) $x^3+6x^2+12x+8$

Work Step by Step

(a) $3(x+6) + 4(2x-5)$ $ = 3x+18+8x-20$ $= 11x-2$ (b) $(x+3)(4x-5)$ $= 4x^2-5x+12x-15$ $= 4x^2 + 7x -15$ (c) $(\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b})(\sqrt{a} - \sqrt{b})$ $ = a-\sqrt{ab}+\sqrt{ab}-b$ $ = a-b$ (d) $(2x+3)^2$ $ = (2x+3)(2x+3)$ $ = 4x^2+6x+6x+9$ $= 4x^2+12x+9$ (e) $(x+2)^3$ $= (x+2)(x+2)(x+2)$ $= (x^2+2x+2x+4)(x+2)$ $= (x^2+4x+4)(x+2)$ $= x^3+2x^2+4x^2+8x+4x+8$ $= x^3+6x^2+12x+8$
