Multiplying binomial by a trinomial now. Equation in comments

OpenStudy (andriod09):

(4x^3-y^4)(3x+4x^8-9)

OpenStudy (andriod09):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

same method, we distribute term by term

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\((4x^3-y^4)(3x+4x^8-9) \)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\((\color{green}{4x^3}-y^4)(\color{green}{3x+4x^8-9}) \)

OpenStudy (andriod09):

I can't see equation using the buttons.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

first distribute 3x^3, then \(-y^4\)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ohh i think there is some bug, its not working properly i heard mods were saying equation editor not working properly

OpenStudy (andriod09):

(4x^3-y^4)(3x+4x^8-9) is the equation.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

hmm didnt get u

OpenStudy (andriod09):

you put (3x^3) its (4x^3)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

oh gotcha :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

lol that was a typpo.. nothing to do wid editor hehe \( (\color{green}{4x^3}-y^4)(\color{green}{3x+4x^8-9}) \)

OpenStudy (andriod09):

okay.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

yea distribute \(4x^3\) first

OpenStudy (andriod09):

okay.

OpenStudy (andriod09):

is it: (12x^3+16x^11y^5-36x^3)?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

\((\color{green}{4x^3}-y^4)(\color{green}{3x+4x^8-9}) \) \(\color{green}{4x^3}(\color{green}{3x+4x^8-9}) - y^4(3x+4x^8-9) \)

OpenStudy (andriod09):

I can't see the equations used from the buttons! please just type them! im totally confunsed. :/

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

oh you cant see the latex thats frustrating

OpenStudy (andriod09):

all i see is \((\color{})(\color{}{}) \) but fulled with the equation

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(4x^3 - y^4)(3x+4x^8-9) 4x^3(3x+4x^8-9) - y^4(3x+4x^8-9)

OpenStudy (andriod09):

anyhoo, i have (12x^3+16x^11y^5-36x^3)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

is that better

OpenStudy (andriod09):

yea, thank you i can read it now! :)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

4x^3(3x+4x^8-9) - y^4(3x+4x^8-9) (12x^4 + 16x^11 - 36x^3) - (3xy^4 + 4x^8y^4 - 9y^4)

OpenStudy (andriod09):

i have to condense my paper, give me a second.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(12x^4 + 16x^11 - 36x^3- 3xy^4 - 4x^8y^4 + 9y^4)

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

ok if u see any like terms, just add them. i think somthing went wrong in ur answer.. . check :)

OpenStudy (andriod09):

for which part of the equation though?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

i dont see any like terms. so thats it i hope

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(12x^4 + 16x^11 - 36x^3- 3xy^4 - 4x^8y^4 + 9y^4)

OpenStudy (andriod09):

12x^4 + 16x^11- 36x^3, 3xy^4 - 4x^8y^. are all like terms

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

why do u think they are like terms

OpenStudy (andriod09):

they are all the same i.e. (x)^4,(x)^11,(-x)^3; (xy)^4,(x)^8(y)^4

OpenStudy (andriod09):

@ganeshie8

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

(x)^4 and (x)^11 are not like terms

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

to be called as like terms, terms should satisfy two things- 1) variable letters, for example x, y 2) exponent of variables

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

terms listed by you are satisfying first condition. but they are failing second condition

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

if u see, (x)^4,(x)^11 first one has an exponent of 4, and second one has an exponent of 11 so they are not like terms. we cant add them

OpenStudy (andriod09):

oh but they are. they are both (x)s. so by that, all you would do is att the exponets and the numerals.

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):

for addition, BOTH variable(x)s and exponents(4, 11) MUST be equal for multiplication, variables must be equal.
