I need help on multiplying polynomials..plzzzz: (2xy+x2+y2) x (x+y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2xy+x^2+y^2)(x+y) Right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes..srry 4 the mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its ok lol, you distribute do u know how?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2xy times x is 2x^2y understand? then u keep doing so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya, but itz 2 many varibles instead of numbers..so I keep on messin up+confused

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it would be , x^3 + y^3 + 3x^2y + 3xy^2 = (x+y)^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sp11 do it slowly ill walk u through it if u want?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

123 x 12 can be rewritten as 100+20+3 x 10+2 the multipication is the same as you learned back in the 4th grade

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is tht supposed to be the answer tanjeetsarkar?..wht?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@callie2240 I would like if u guided me through the question.plz

OpenStudy (amistre64):

using variables instead of numbers doesnt change the operation, it just means some numbers are not known at the current time 2xy+x2+y2 x+y -----------

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok just start with 2xy(x+y), whats 2xy times x?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k.thnx..so as @amistre64 showed(how 2 set it up)..I got 2xy+x^2y+y^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

as the 1st part..iz it rite?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya dat is it. but i did it in a shrtcut method. u bettr get xplained from callie2240. @sp11

OpenStudy (anonymous):

k, thnk u

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@sp11 ????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes..im rite here

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2xy+x2+y2 x+y ----------- lets start with the y for kicks and giggles 2xy+x2+y2 y ----------- 2xy2+yx2+y3 now the x 2xy+x2+y2 x + y ------------------- 2xy2 + yx2 + y3 2x2y+ x3 + xy2 ------------------- add up like parts

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amistre64 is right do u understand how he did it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya..now I do..but adding those varibles is hard :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and which 1's r the exponents

OpenStudy (anonymous):

well only add like terms meaning same x and y like 2x^2y and 2xy^2 cant be together cause its not the same exponent understand?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok..thnk u sooo muchh..srry 4 the trouble-

OpenStudy (anonymous):

dnt worry bout it glad i could help lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i assumed you knew what the exponents were when you posted this as: 2xy+x2+y2

OpenStudy (amistre64):

when in rome and all :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uh ok..thanks 4 ur help

OpenStudy (amistre64):

good luck

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the answer is 6xy^2 +y^3+x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if u believe so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

..i'll take tht as a yes lol..k bye
