I do not understand how they got the answer for this problem.
(x+h)^3
:
You know this means: (x+h)*(x+h)*(x+h), right
:
First FOIL (x+h)*(x+h) and you should get: x^2 + 2xh + h^2
:
Mult that by (x+h), do it the old fashioned way you learn to multiply numbers:
x^2 + 2xh + h^2
.................x + h

You should get the answer they gave you.
