Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Define the Binomials
We start with the binomials \( (x + 2) \) and \( (x + 3) \).
Step 2: Apply the Distributive Property
Using the distributive property (FOIL method), we multiply each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial:
\[
(x + 2)(x + 3) = x \cdot x + x \cdot 3 + 2 \cdot x + 2 \cdot 3
\]
Step 3: Combine Like Terms
Now, we combine the like terms from the expansion:
\[
x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6 = x^2 + 5x + 6
\]
Final Answer
The product of the binomials is
\[
\boxed{x^2 + 5x + 6}
\]
