    To factor x2+bx+c you would need to find the number that is c that when multiplied will equal the number c and when added together will equal b. For example: x2 + 12x+32. What number when multiplied will equal 32 but when added together will equal 12. Those numbers would be 4 and 8. So to factor x2+12x+32 it would be (x+4)(x+8). If you do…

Therefore, according to the example, I will need to FOIL the binomial (1+r)2 and then multiply all terms by P. I will begin by rewriting the polynomial expression without any parenthesis in ascending order of the variable r, as opposed to descending order, with the exponent in the last term instead of the first term.…
