① | Combine like terms: $$ x+x^2+ \color{blue}{x^6} + \color{blue}{x^6} = \color{blue}{2x^6} +x^2+x $$ |
② | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{2x^6+x^2+x}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 2x^6+x^2+x\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{2x^6+x^2+x}\right) \cdot \left( 2x^6+x^2+x\right) = 4x^{12}+2x^8+2x^7+2x^8+x^4+x^3+2x^7+x^3+x^2 $$ |
③ | Combine like terms: $$ 4x^{12}+ \color{blue}{2x^8} + \color{red}{2x^7} + \color{blue}{2x^8} +x^4+ \color{green}{x^3} + \color{red}{2x^7} + \color{green}{x^3} +x^2 = \\ = 4x^{12}+ \color{blue}{4x^8} + \color{red}{4x^7} +x^4+ \color{green}{2x^3} +x^2 $$ |
④ | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{4x^{12}+4x^8+4x^7+x^4+2x^3+x^2}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( 2x^6+x^2+x\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{4x^{12}+4x^8+4x^7+x^4+2x^3+x^2}\right) \cdot \left( 2x^6+x^2+x\right) = \\ = 8x^{18}+4x^{14}+4x^{13}+8x^{14}+4x^{10}+4x^9+8x^{13}+4x^9+4x^8+2x^{10}+x^6+x^5+4x^9+2x^5+2x^4+2x^8+x^4+x^3 $$ |
