(xy + 3) (xy - 1)
would that be
x^2y^2 + 2xy - 3?

um
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well i was thinking i could do x times 2x and get 2x^2 and then 3 times 4...? im not sure
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sleepyjess can u help?
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
This is just a longer version of FOIL. Give me just a minute :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thank you

let me let jess do this she needs 99!!!!!!
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
(x - 3)(x^2 - 2x + 4)
x*x^2
-3*x^2
now we are done with x^2
x*-2x
-3*-2x
now we are done with -2x
x*4
-3*4
this is all :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
im lost..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
out of that i got -3x^2 - 6x^2...? idk
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
x*x^2 = x^3
-3*x^2 = -3x^2
x*-2x = -2x^2
-3*-2x = 6x
x*4 = 4x
-3*4 = -12
Now put them all together into one equation and combine like terms

x^3 - 5x^2 + 10x - 12 0r....-x^3 - 3x^2 + x - 12?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
@sleepyjess
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
the first one is correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thx
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
no problemo :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
would (x+4)(-x^2+x-3) be -x^3-3x^2+x-12?
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
x*-x^2 = -x^3
4*-x^2 = -4x^2
x*x = x^2
4*x = 4x
x(-3 = -3x 4*-3 = -12
-x^3 - 3x^2 + x -12
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay just one more
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
okie ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):
(2x-1)(-x^2-x+4) would that be
2x^3-10x^2-26x-14 or
-2x^3-2x^2+9x-5?
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
2x*-x^2 = -2x^3
-1*-x^2 = x^2
2x*-x = -2x^2
-1*-x = x
2x*4 = 8x
-1*4 = -8
-2x^3 + x^2 - 2x^2 + x + 8x - 8
-2x^3 - x^2 + 9x - 8
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
ah, -1*4 does not equal -8, should be -4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah im sorry i have answer choices and i looked at them and i typed one of them wrong
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i mest up with the 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):
so it would be -2x^3 - 2x^2 + 9x - 4?
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thank you so much, you helped me with everything and that means a lot, so thank you :)
OpenStudy (sleepyjess):
no problem! :)
