help me with this please :) (5s-3)^2 A.10 – 9 B.25 – 30s – 9 C.25 – 9 D.25 – 30s + 9

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Any ideas?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i actually have no idea .. :/ is there like a process used to solve it /

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yes the process is called the FOIL method of multiplying binomials :)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

But like any process you must write down the correct choices to the question.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its used for this one to ? ( Find the special products )

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

A.10 – 9 B.25 – 30s – 9 C.25 – 9 D.25 – 30s + 9 is not right.

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

You are missing a LOT

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dam..

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Let us look at the method again, ok?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait its actually this \[(5s-3)^2 A. 10^2 - 9 b. 25s^2 - 30 s -9 C. 25s^2 -9 D. 25s^2 - 30S +9

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Copy and paste the method I gave you here please.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1. Multiply the First terms of the binomials 2. Multiply the first term of each binomial by the last term of the other and add these products. 3. multiply the last terms of the binomials

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that one?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yep :)

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Do you understand how to follow the steps in it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not in one like this :0

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Well you need to put the question into a FORM that will allow you to use the FOIL method :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i make it longer ?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

What does a^2 mean?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Yes, you make it "longer."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh ok and, a to the second power

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

a^2 = ?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

(5s-3)^2 = ?

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Let a = (5s-3)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait its D. !! :o

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

Correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yaay thanks bro

OpenStudy (skullpatrol):

np :)
