(4x^7-9)(x^8-7) find the product

OpenStudy (anonymous):

when you have x^2 * x^3, you add the exponents. so, x^5 is your result. Here, its FOIL with higher exponent values.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be (5x^15-16)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not quite. 2x^2 * x^3 = 2x^5 so....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4x^15

OpenStudy (anonymous):

remember to FOIL. First times first, first times outside, inside times inside, then inside times outside. And yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
