you need to foil it out
OpenStudy (anonymous):
look up the graph if you type it in it will give you the answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
there will be a graph that shows up and it will give you your answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
when we foil we multiply the first, the outside, the inside, and the last
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then we get (x-2)(x-5)=x^2-5x-2x+7

x squared-3x-10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then we simplify to get x^2-7x+7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
well x^2-3x-10
OpenStudy (anonymous):
this is the correct answer
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Draw a line (in your head or on paper) from x to x, -5 to 2, -5 to x, and x and 2.
Now we need to multiply these figures. So basically multiply everything that's in the brackets.
So now we have, X x X= x squared -5x2= -10 -5 x X= -5x X x 2=2x
Add the x's together, 2x-5x= -3x
We now have -10, x squared and -3x
so... (x - 5)(x + 2)= x squared-3x-10
