@adam.bloedel
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
(a+b)(a-b)=a²-b²
OpenStudy (juanpablojr):
Seems like a binomial.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
sorry i dont really get that this is really hard for me and i know that is a binomial
OpenStudy (juanpablojr):
Since its a binomial how can it be a Trinomial.

thank you so so so much :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
can you help on one more pwease?
OpenStudy (juanpablojr):
Welcome :) and ill see if I can
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay here it is
Find the product of (x + 5)(x - 5).
x2 - 10x + 25
x2 + 10x + 25
x2 - 25
x2 + 25
im guessing its the last one
OpenStudy (solomonzelman):
(a+b)(a+b) = (a+b)² = a²+2ab+b²

First
Outside
Inside
Last
Multiply the first terms in each bracket
Then Multiply the outside terms, Inside then last.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i still think it is the first one
OpenStudy (juanpablojr):
x2 is x^2 right as in x squared?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah sorry about that
OpenStudy (juanpablojr):
(x - 5)(x + 5)
so x(x) + x(5) - 5(x) - 5(5) by foil

Then you sub it to x² + 5x - 5x + 25 then you combine like terms to get your answer.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i got the last one thank you so much love you are a lifesaver :)
OpenStudy (juanpablojr):
NOOO you should \[X ^{2}-25\]
OpenStudy (juanpablojr):
wait I might of made a mistake did u get it right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
uh oh.... i already submitted it and got an 80 but thats fine thanks
