Step 2.1.1.1.1

Raise $x$ to the power of $1$ .

$x^{2} x^{1} + x^{2} \cdot 10 + 2 x \cdot x + 2 x \cdot 10$

Step 2.1.1.1.2

Use the power rule $a^{m} a^{n} = a^{m + n}$ to combine exponents.

$x^{2 + 1} + x^{2} \cdot 10 + 2 x \cdot x + 2 x \cdot 10$

Step 2.1.1.2

Add $2$ and $1$ .

$x^{3} + x^{2} \cdot 10 + 2 x \cdot x + 2 x \cdot 10$

Step 2.1.2

Move $10$ to the left of $x^{2}$ .

$x^{3} + 10 \cdot x^{2} + 2 x \cdot x + 2 x \cdot 10$

Step 2.1.3.2

Multiply $x$ by $x$ .

$x^{3} + 10 x^{2} + 2 x^{2} + 2 x \cdot 10$

Step 2.1.4

Multiply $10$ by $2$ .

$x^{3} + 10 x^{2} + 2 x^{2} + 20 x$

Step 2.2

Add $10 x^{2}$ and $2 x^{2}$ .
