Easier with the drawing button... there's no easy way to show this, but you have to multiply each term in the first set of brackets, by each term in the second set.

Answer 4

(x^2 + 7x + 12)(x^2 + 3x + 5) =
x^2*x^2 + x^2*3x + x^2*5 + 7x*x^2 + 7x*3x + 7x*5 + 12*x^2 + 12*3x + 12*5

simplify then combine like terms
