Hello!

I am working with the Maple 18.02 version. I just want want to perform a basic polynomial expansion using the command "expand" and it does not respond as it should according to what Maple Programming Help says it would. For example:

Maple Programming Help says:

I get:

.

Also, one sees that this isn't even true, as x(x+2) + 1 = x^2 +2x +1, which is not equal to x^2 + 3x +2.

Moreover, maple tells me it is equal..:

What is going on here? I woul like to get the full expanded form (without factors). Also, this is obviously not true, or maybe Maple means something else by x(x+2) +1...

Thank you!
