(y^2-2y-6)(y+5)

Answer 1

do you know how to multiply polynomials?

Answer 2

like what (x+1)(x+2) =?

Answer 3

yes, that's what I've been learning this week.

Answer 4

I've used the FOIL method also

Answer 5

yes, that's a good method to start with

Answer 6

:)

Answer 7

but with this question , am I supposed to multiply y by (y^2) (-2y) and (-6) and then 5 by (y^2) (-2y) and (-6) and then add them all together?

Answer 8

pleas pick best response

Answer 9

yes!

Answer 10

ok, so I was on the right track then.... :)

Answer 11

Answer 15

ok, good luck with your course!

Answer 16

thanks

Answer 17

ok, does anyone know if the answer would be....
3y^2-16y-30y^3 ?

Answer 18

wait, there should be four terms in your answer...

Answer 19

3y^2- 16y -30 + y^3 ?

Answer 20

yes!

Answer 21

sweet! ty

Answer 22

oh, and becareful what the question ask you to do with the listing of the polynomials

Answer 23

some says descending power and some says ascending power.

Answer 24

okay, yes, I have seen some of the questions asking for them to be in descending order.

Answer 25

so if in this case the answer has to be : y^3 +3y^2 -16y-30

Answer 26

thank you

Answer 27

no problem:)
