I'm not sure how Δx works when it's being multiplied. Can anyone explain? Ex. (x+Δx) (x+Δx)= ??? What does x(Δx)=? Would it be Δx^2 But then.. what does Δx(Δx)=?

it's just about notation......that's all... think of \(\large \Delta x \)=h so all you have is (x+h)(x+h). you can do foil on that... but as far as notation, \(\large x(\Delta x) \ne \Delta x^2 \) but rather this is the case: \(\large \Delta x^2 =\Delta x \cdot \Delta x \) so, \(\large x(\Delta x) \) is just \(\large x(\Delta x) \) or simply \(\large x \Delta x \)
