do you need the graph?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
This is for monomials
OpenStudy (lieutenantgeneral):
(x+5)(x-3) = x^2 + 2x - 15 = 16
The answer is 16
OpenStudy (anonymous):
(x - 3)(x + 5) =
x² +5x -3x -15
x² +2x -15
OpenStudy (anonymous):
2x^3-15?

Jelia is correct....answer is x^2 + 2x - 15...you can do it using the FOIL method
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I haven't got to that chapter yet. Should I start on that one first?
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
That is up to you.

Yes
OpenStudy (texaschic101):
FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last
(x + 5)(x - 3)
F -- multiply first terms in each set...x * x = x^2
O -- multiply outside terms in each set....-3 * x = -3x
I -- multiply inside terms in each set...5 * x = 5x
L -- multiply last terms in each set...5 * -3 = -15
now put it all together...
x^2 - 3x + 5x - 15---combine like terms
x^2 + 2x - 15
Voila! Easy as that.
