Expand. Your answer should be a polynomial in standard form. (x-2)(x-6)
To expand the given expression, we can use the distributive property.
(x-2)(x-6) = x(x-6) - 2(x-6)
Now, we can multiply each term inside the parentheses with the corresponding term outside the parentheses.
= (x * x) - (6 * x) - (2 * x) + (2 * 6)
= x^2 - 6x - 2x + 12
Combining like terms, we have:
= x^2 - 8x + 12
So, the expanded form of (x-2)(x-6) is x^2 - 8x + 12.
