Question

multiply the polynomials (t-4) (2t^2-t+6)

Answer 1

how?

Answer 2

A.Mistre will show you how! ;)

Answer 3

distributing

Answer 4

distributing works fine; but in my old age i tend to get confused going side to side like that

Answer 5

id rather just multiply it outright like normal

Answer 6

do that

Answer 7

that would work easier

Answer 8

stack them and do what comes natural

2t^2 -t +6
t -4
--------------

now what would your gut say to do in this case?

Answer 9

2t^2 -t +6
t -4
--------------
-8t^2 +t -24

does that look familiar any?

Answer 10

forgot a 4 tho lol

Answer 11

yes to combine like terms

Answer 12

2t^2 -t +6
t -4
--------------
-8t^2 +4t -24

thats better ;)

Answer 13

its not adding, its multiplying

Answer 14

so dont combine like terms

Answer 15

not yet :)

tell me, how would you multiply something like 27 times 4?

Answer 16

dude i wish i knew thats why im here lol

Answer 17

.... well, i was hoping not to have to reinvent the wheel in the process.

Answer 18

if you dont know how to multiply 2 numbers togheter; then your not going to know how to multiply the stuff that are just numbers in disguise together either

Answer 19

lets try this:

2t^2 -t +6
t -4
--------------
n = 6*-4

would you now what 6 times -4 is at least?

Answer 20

- 24

Answer 21

-24 is right :) now the next thing is to move over to the next spot ...

2t^2 -t +6
-4
--------------
^ -24
^
n = -t times -4 ; what would you say this could be?

Answer 22

idk is it the answer cause i kinda need to do this fast cause i fell asleep when i got home and im now starting this

Answer 23

.... im trying to help you study so you can have some idea as to how to do these.

Answer 24

the "fastness" is up to you

Answer 25

when we come across numbers multiplied to letter .... all we do is stick them together into one term, but we have the issue of having 2 negatives as well; whenever we have the same sign, we go positive.

-4 times -t = +4t

Answer 26

ok ty can u write the answer i dont realy wan to do this on my own

Answer 27

the answer tends to come at the end after the work itself is done.

Answer 28

ok can u do it and write it for me so i can give you a medal plz
i really need this i have class in like 3 hours and i have likee 20 more to do

Answer 29

i have 5413 medals, and none of them do me any good.

but if all you need is an answer, then im sure somebody will tend to come along and just lay one at your feet if need be.

so good luck with it :)

Answer 30
