Answer

$t^2+\dfrac{17}{6}t+2$

Work Step by Step

Using $(a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd$ or the product of $2$ binomials, the given expression, $ \left( t+\dfrac{3}{2} \right)\left( t+\dfrac{4}{3} \right) $, is equivalent to \begin{array}{l}\require{cancel} t(t)+t\left( \dfrac{4}{3} \right)+\dfrac{3}{2}(t)+\dfrac{3}{2}\left( \dfrac{4}{3} \right) \\\\= t^2+\dfrac{4}{3}t+\dfrac{3}{2}t+\dfrac{12}{6} \\\\= t^2+\dfrac{8}{6}t+\dfrac{9}{6}t+2 \\\\= t^2+\dfrac{17}{6}t+2 .\end{array}
