Answer:

4

Explanation:

I like to use the FOIL method! I've attached a quick picture of how it works below, but basically you multiply the first terms. Next, multiply the outside/outer terms. Then, multiply the inside/inner terms. Lastly, you multiply the last terms.

In this question, the binomial is (x + 2)².

You can expand this to be (x + 2)(x + 2).

When you expand it using the FOIL method, you get x times x, which is .

Next, the outside/outer terms are x and 2, which is 2x.

Then, you multiply the inside/inner terms 2 and x, which is 2x.

Last, you multiply the last terms, which are 2 and 2, which is 4.

When you put them together, it looks like this:

x² + 2x + 2x + 4.

You can simplify this to x² + 4x + 4.

So your answer is 4.
