Is my answer correct?
Simplify. (x^2 + 5x + 8)(x^2 + 2x + 6) A. x^4 + 10x^2 + 48 B. x^4 + 2x^3 + 6x^2 + 7x + 14 C. 2x^2 + 7x + 14 D. x^4 + 7x^3 + 24x^2 + 46x + 48 <------------ My answer
You nailed it. Very nice job.
Thanks! I have a couple of others, would you mind checking those too?
sure thing
correct again, very nice
Use FOIL to multiply the two binomials. (at first I thought it said bananas :P) (b + 3)(b – 9) A. b^2 – 27 B. b^2 + 12b – 27 C. b^2 + 6b – 27 D. b^2 – 6b – 27 <------ My answer
forgot the exponents there :P
but yes, the correct answer is choice D
Expand the squared binomial. ( my minds unique what can I say!) (x – 4)^2 A. x^2 – 16 B. x^2 + 16 C. x^2 + 8x – 16 D. x^2 – 8x + 16 <-------- My answer
got it again, congrats
that's good, nothing wrong with a unique mind
Multiply and simplify: –3x^2y^2 • x^3 A. –3x^5y^6 B. –3x^6y^2 C. 9x^5y^2 D. –3x^5y^2 <-------------- My answer (don't know why there are so many D's)
cause they get lazy too apparently, but yes, yet another D
Arrange 3x^2 – 6x^4 + 2 + 4x in order by decreasing powers of x. A. –6x^4 + 4x + 3x^2 + 2 B. –6x^4 + 3x^2 + 4x + 2 <----------- My answer C. 2 + 4x + 3x^2 – 6x^4 D. 3x^2 – 6x^4 + 2 + 4x
you got it, choice B (finally not another D)
maybe they did it because the common misconception is that C is usually the answer, idk...
The expression (2x + 3)(3x + 4) simplifies to which of the following? (yea maybe so :P I ended up doing the problem before realizing I just had to figure out what it'd end up looking like :P This is question number 7 and htere are 12 in all in case you were wondering thanks again btw) A. 2x(3x + 4) + 3(3x + 4) <------------ My answer B. 2x(2x + 3) + 3(3x + 4) C. 2x(3x + 4) D. 2x(3x + 4) + (3x + 4)
you are correct, choice A is the answer here
it's fine as long as its your answers and not mine
Not sure if that's right, they always mess me up with those since they do it two different ways and don't tell you -_-
That's not the correct answer
One sec while I type up a solution to show you how to get the answer
Yea I figured, I'll come back to it so it doesn't hold us up.... Subtract and simplify: (3x2 + 7) – (x2 – 6x + 4) A. 2x^2 + 6x + 3 <----------- My answer B. 4x^2 – 6x + 3 C. 2x^2 + 6x + 11 D. 4x^2 + 3
you got it, the answer is choice A) 2x^2 + 6x + 3
alright, we'll come back to that prev one
Add and simplify. (2x2 – 11x) + (3x2 + 11x – 4) A. 5x^4 – 4 <---------- My answer B. 6x^2 – 11x – 4 C. 5x^2 – x – 4 D. 5x^2 – 4
hold on
you're going way too fast, one problem at a time please
sorry
There's no rush! I juts don't want to hold you up or anything, take your time :)
its ok, it's just hard to reference the problems if they're not done one at a time
The problem (2x2 – 11x) + (3x2 + 11x – 4) the answer is NOT choice A
keep in mind that x^2 + x^2 = 2x^2 and NOT 2x^4
Ohh right! I forgot about that, I'm still thinking I'm multiplying even though I know I'm adding :/ sorry about that, thanks for pointing it out
yw, so the answer for that one is choice ???
D!
lol D strikes again...
yes, D is the answer
yup :D
as for the triangle one, the answer is indeed choice B
Awesome :D I'm gonna ace the test for sure :D This is the last question then we just have the question about volume ugh -_- Multiply and simplify: 10x(9x2 + 6x + 7) A. 90x^2 + 60x + 70 B. 9x^2 + 16x + 7 C. 90x^3 + 60x^2 + 70x <-------- My answer D. 90x^3 + 130x
good, choice C is definitely your answer here
Great! Mmk so do you need me to send you the volume question again?
yes
I'm going to show you how I did it so you can let me know what I did wrong
alright sounds great
So I had (x + 3)(5x - 4)(2x -1) Then: x(5x - 4) and 3(5x - 4)
so far so good
Then for the first one, I got 5x^2 - 4x and then for the second equation(correct name?) I got 15x - 12
expression, but you have the right idea
Next, I dropped the 5x^2 unchanged into the final equation at the front (so that everything's in standard form) then I added 15x plus negative 4x (-4x) to get 11x
expression*
and I also dropped down negative 12 (-12) to the final expression unchanged since there was nothing to change it with (if that makes sense) and so my final expression was: 5x^2 + 11x - 12
oh wait! I'm so sorry, I did the wrong expression
no wait, I did it right, just didn't finish :P
good, so (x + 3)(5x - 4) turns into 5x^2 + 11x - 12
this means (x + 3)(5x - 4)(2x -1) then becomes (5x^2 + 11x - 12)(2x -1)
so then, I took the 2x - 1 (poor guy thought I forgot about him) and did this: 2x(5x^2 + 11x -12)
oops, it erased some of it: (2x - 1)(5x^2 + 11x - 12)
THEN I did what I said earlier: 2x(5x^2 + 11x - 12) so then I have (from that expression) 10x^3 + 22x^2 - 24x
Then I did the same thing only with negative 1 (-1): -1(5x^2 + 11x - 12) and I got negative 5x^2 (-5x^2) minus 11x plus 12 (the 12 was already negative and a negative number times a negative number equals a positive number)
so finally, this is what it looks like: 10x^3 + 22x^2 - 5x^2 - 24x - 11x + 12
so after simplifying ( 22x^2 - 5x^2 = 17^2; -24x - 11x = -35x; + 12) (phew!) The final expression is: 10x^3 + 17^2 - 35x + 12
you nailed it, you totally aced this
I think I see what I did wrong, I subtracted 11 from 24 instead of adding them and got the wrong answer
The cost for solving expressions too fast
Math's too tricky to fast solving -_-
lol well it's good that you went back and figured where you went wrong
Yea, good ole rechecking ;)
Haha! I got 48/48! 100%! Thanks so much!
you're welcome, but it was really all you
even on that last one lol
Thanks for checking and working out that last one for me, yea well you still did check it and everything and I would've gotten one question wrong if you hadn't of pointed it out, so my virtual hat goes off to you sir!
lol thanks, I'm glad I could help you out
Thanks again, enjoy your day! May the mass times acceleration be with you! (lame science joke)
lol never heard that one before
you too
