| ① | Multiply each term of $ \left( \color{blue}{x^2+x+2}\right) $ by each term in $ \left( x^2+x+2\right) $. $$ \left( \color{blue}{x^2+x+2}\right) \cdot \left( x^2+x+2\right) = x^4+x^3+2x^2+x^3+x^2+2x+2x^2+2x+4 $$ |
| ② | Combine like terms: $$ x^4+ \color{blue}{x^3} + \color{red}{2x^2} + \color{blue}{x^3} + \color{green}{x^2} + \color{orange}{2x} + \color{green}{2x^2} + \color{orange}{2x} +4 = x^4+ \color{blue}{2x^3} + \color{green}{5x^2} + \color{orange}{4x} +4 $$ |
