(x^2+x+6)(x-6)
multiply everything in the first parentheses by \(x\) then multiply it all by \(-6\) then combine like terms
i can walk you through it if you like
yes please!
ok so first i did x^2 times x and it still remained x^2 right
ok \[(x^2+x+6)(x-6)\]multiply everything in first parentheses by \(x\) you get \[x^3+x^2+6x\] then multiply everything by \(-6\) you get \[-6x^2-6x-36\] so as a start we have \[x^3+x^2+6x-6x^2-6x-36\] and then we have to combine like terms
oh sorry i did not see your question' no, \(x^2\times x=x^3\) not \(x^2\)
we can go even slower if you prefer
\[x^3-6x-36?\]
close
because when i combine like terms 6x -6x cancel out
yes that is true, there is no \(x\) term in the answer
there is an \(x^3\) term, and also a \(-36\) so that part is right, but \(-6x^2+x^2=-5x^2\)
ok what about -5x^2???
x^3-5x-36?
\[x^3+x^2+6x-6x^2-6x-36\] \[=x^3+x^2-6x^2+6x-6x-36\] \[=x^2-5x^2-36\]
yes, that one is right
yes! thank you
i trying to get the hang of it
but make sure you write \(-5x^2\) not \(-5x\) when you combine like terms keep the exponent the same
a little practice and it will be easy it is more or less like multiplying a two digit number by a three digit number
they said its not right
i typed x^2-5x^2-36
did you write \[x^3-5x^2-36\]?
first term should be the \(x^3\) term
yes i got it
whew scared me for a moment
I was typing to fast i guess lol
