Multiplying Polynomial help please

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[(5a ^{2}+6)(a-1)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm sorry that's a typo, there is no exponent for the 5a.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Multiply \[(5a+6)(a-1) \]

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

|dw:1382452507938:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay. 5a^2 +4a? right? that's the first part?

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

where is 4 a ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then 6a -5

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

aha! :))

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

but the 4a part is wrong :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Woops that should be -5a right?

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

Ohhh I see your problem, let me explain it again :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

please do lol

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

|dw:1382452767395:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so: 5a^2 -6.. isn't there more tho?

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

|dw:1382452891394:dw|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so altogether u got: 5a^2-6 +6a -5a?

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

Correct! :) we're not done yet :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

right and when we combine them we get 5a^2 -6+1a

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that right?

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

Yes :) that is the correct answer, but I suggest we rearrange it , 5a ^2 + a - 6 :))

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok thank you so much :D

OpenStudy (yamyam70):

:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have a good day :)

OpenStudy (yamyam70):
