Answer

$12+13\sqrt{2c}+6c$

Work Step by Step

Given \begin{equation} (3+\sqrt{2 c})(4+\sqrt{18 c}). \end{equation} Multiply the binomials as shown below. \begin{equation} \begin{aligned} (3+\sqrt{2 c})(4+\sqrt{18 c})&= 4(3+\sqrt{2 c})+\sqrt{18 c}(3+\sqrt{2 c})\\ & =12+4\sqrt{2c}+3\sqrt{9\cdot 2c}+\sqrt{36c^2}\\ & =12 +4\sqrt{2c}+9\sqrt{2c}+6c\\ & = 12+13\sqrt{2c}+6c. \end{aligned} \end{equation} The simplified expression is \begin{equation} (3+\sqrt{2 c})(4+\sqrt{18 c})=12+13\sqrt{2c}+6c. \end{equation}
