Given the expression [tex]\( x^2 + 3 \)[/tex], let's analyze and rewrite it step by step.
1. Understand the structure of the expression:
- The term [tex]\( x^2 \)[/tex] represents the square of the variable [tex]\( x \)[/tex].
- The term [tex]\( 3 \)[/tex] is a constant value.
2. Combine the terms:
- The expression consists of the sum of two terms: [tex]\( x^2 \)[/tex] and [tex]\( 3 \)[/tex].
Therefore, the expression in its simplified form is:
[tex]\[
x^2 + 3
\][/tex]
This expression cannot be simplified any further without knowing the value of [tex]\( x \)[/tex]. Therefore, the final answer is:
[tex]\[
x^2 + 3
\][/tex]
