(x + 2)(x+4)
(x + 1)(x+8)
* (*+ 4x)(2x + 3)

The diagram is not given. I will however write out each polynomial, so that you can select whichever corresponds to your question.

Explanation:

(2x + 8)(4x + 8)

= 8x² + 16x + 24x + 64

= 8x² + 40x + 64

= 8(x² + 5x + 8)

(x + 2)(x+4)

= x² + 4x + 2x + 8

= x² + 6x + 8

(x + 1)(x+8)

= x² + 8x + x + 8

= x² + 9x + 8

* (*+ 4x)(2x + 3) NOT CLEAR
