Fill in the blanks to make the statement true:(x + a) (x + b) = x2 +

1.	Fill in the blanks to make the statement true:(x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ________.
Answer» (x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b) x + ab = (x + a) (x + b) = x × (x + b) + a × (x + b) = x² + xb + xa + ab = x² + x (b + a) + ab

Fill in the blanks to make the statement true:(x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b) x + ________.

Answer»

(x + a) (x + b) = x² + (a + b) x + ab

= (x + a) (x + b)

= x × (x + b) + a × (x + b)

= x² + xb + xa + ab

= x² + x (b + a) + ab
