how do you solve (x-y)(x^2-11xy+y^2)

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

What do you mean by "solve"? Solving is usually done to equations. There is no equal sign here, so you don't have an equation.

it tells me to find the product how do you find it?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Ok. You are multiplying a binomial by a trinomial. Multiply every term of the binomial by every term of the trinomial. Then combine like terms.

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

For example: \((2x + 3)(3x^2 + 4x - 5)\) \(=2x \times 3x^2 + 2x \times 4x + 2x \times (-5) + 3 \times 3x^2 + 3 \times 4x + 3 \times (-5)\) \(= 6x^3 + 8x^2 - 10x + 9x^2 + 12x - 15\) \(= 6x^3 + 17x^2 + 2x - 15\)
