Express each product in simplest standard form.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gotta catch em all!

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

(k+8)(3k^2-5k+7)

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

LAWL

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

will the answer be

OpenStudy (nottim):

Like, k=-8 and whatever the otehr one is? Do we do them in separate brackets, or merge em?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

no?

OpenStudy (nottim):

Are you able to figure that one out? ITs either quadratic formula or complex trinomials.

OpenStudy (nottim):

ARe you able to do the previously stated (complex trinomials)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[3 k^3+19 k^2-33 k+56\] method?

OpenStudy (nottim):

Cloud factoring?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not in the cloud. multiply everthing in the second parentheses by k, then by 8, then combine like terms

OpenStudy (nottim):

Oh, so you're merging them.

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

forgot you foil?

OpenStudy (nottim):

wat

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

FOIL YOU NEVER HEARD OF IT?

OpenStudy (nottim):

what. What about foil

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

IN THIS PROBLEM YOU FOIL?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I used to have a foil charizard.

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

i foil k

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

and i got this 3k^3-6k+7 am I right so far

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

am I right so far?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

comebined like turms first

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@pokemon, foil is a trick math teacher play on students. the sooner you forget it the better

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

lol then what method should I used then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is your problem, as you have written above \[(k+8)(3k^2-5k+7)\] is that correct?

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

yes it is :D

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and your job it to multiply

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

yup distributive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you will have to do 6 multiplications, and then combine like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

first i would multiply everything in this line \[(3k^2-5k+7)\]by k namely find \[k(3k^2-5k+7)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is the method I use, hope it helps :)

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

i got 3k^3-6k+7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this is pretty easy, just the distributive property. you should be able to get \[k(3k^2-5k+7)=3k^3-5k^2+7k\]

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

forgot the negative sign

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

forgot e were multiplying

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok a mistake. \[k\times (-5k)=-5k^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

likewise \[k\times 7=7k\]

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

so we 8*(3k^2-5k+7)

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

24k^2-40k+7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right that is the second part

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you forgot \[8\times 7\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

good work sate and pokemon

OpenStudy (anonymous):

should be \[24k^2-40k+56\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and finally you have to collect like terms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you should get the answer i wrote way way above

OpenStudy (pokemon23):

thanks satellite
