equation.
my mama always told me, "If you're old enough to use OpenStudy, then you're old enough to use WolframAlpha" http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%28x%2B8%29+%28x-9%29+%28x-10%29+%28x+%2B+11%29
for the start,u can simplify 1st two terms and last two terms like this: (a+b)(c+d)=ac+ad+bc+bd
okay (x^2 - 1 -72) (x^2 + 1 - 110) x^4 - 183x^2 + 38x + 7920?
according t the link i gave..that's right
where did -1 come from?shouldn't it be -x ??
same for +1,it should be +x
(x^2 - 1x -72) (x^2 + 1x - 110)
right,now take just one term say x^2 from 1st bracket,and multiply it by every term of 2nd bracket.......after u do that,take 2nd term which is -1x,and multiply it by every term of 2nd bracket,then same for -72......then add all the terms and combine like terms,u will get your answer....
final answer = x^4 - 183x^2 + 38x + 7920 = 0
do not write =0, a polynomial is asked,not an equation.....
