Simplify the following:
Simplify the following:
To multiply trinomials, simply foil out your factored terms by multiplying each term in one trinomial to each term in the other trinomial. I will show this below by spliting up the first trinomial into its 3 separate terms and multiplying each by the second trinomial.
Now we treat this as the addition of three monomials multiplied by a trinomial.
Now combine like terms and order by degree, largest to smallest.
