Sagot :

To expand the expression [tex]\( x(x+2) + 1(x+2) \)[/tex], we will proceed step-by-step:

1. Distribute each term: Start by expanding the individual products within the expression.
[tex]\[ x(x+2) + 1(x+2) \][/tex]

2. First distribute [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the term [tex]\( x(x+2) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ x \cdot x + x \cdot 2 = x^2 + 2x \][/tex]

3. Next distribute [tex]\( 1 \)[/tex] in the term [tex]\( 1(x+2) \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ 1 \cdot x + 1 \cdot 2 = x + 2 \][/tex]

4. Combine both expanded parts:
[tex]\[ x^2 + 2x + x + 2 \][/tex]

5. Simplify by combining like terms:
[tex]\[ x^2 + 2x + x + 2 = x^2 + 3x + 2 \][/tex]

Thus, the expanded form of [tex]\( x(x+2) + 1(x+2) \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ x^2 + 3x + 2 \][/tex]

Hence, the correct answer is not listed in the provided choices. The accurate expanded form is:
[tex]\[ \boxed{x^2 + 3x + 2} \][/tex]
