Question

(2n+3)(6n^2-2n+1)

Answer 1

are you familiar with the distribution property of multiplication or FOIL?

Answer 2

Yeah i'm doing FOIL right now but get stuck in the middle

Answer 3

the FOIL method will not work because it only applies to multiplying binomials together

what you have here is multiplying a binomial with a trinomial

however the concept is the same

Answer 4

what you want to do is distribute the first term "2n" to the trinomial " 6n^2-2n+1"

and then distriubte the 2nd term "3" to the trinomial "6n^2-2n+1"

then add them together

Answer 5

\[(2n+3)(6n^2-2n+1)=2n(6n^2-2n+1) + 3(6n^2-2n+1)\]

Answer 6

(a + b ) (c + d + e ) = a*c + a*d + a*e + b*c + b*d + b*e

Answer 7

add like terms if there are .,

Answer 8

x^a * x^ b = x^a+b ., if you have probs with powers used tha rule

Answer 9

Thanks a lot i'll try this
