Multiplying Polynomials Fan and Medal PLZ HELP
Do you have a specific question I can help you with?
yes
Type it in and I will try to help you.
(2x)(10x) A 20x B 12x C 20x^2 D 5x
(2x)(10x) What do we get when we multiply the coefficients (2 and 10)?
20
Correct. Now, we will multiply x times x. Do you know what that equals?
x
It is actually x^2 (x squared). When we multiply the variables, we add the exponents. Each x has an exponent of 1. We add the two exponents together to get 2. Do you get it?
so it is c
Yes. It is c. :-)
can you help me with another
Sure!
-3m(m+8) A -3m^2+24 B -3m^2-24m C -24m^2 D -4m+5
i think its a or b
Ok. Let's start by multiplying -3m and m together. Just like the other one, we will multiply the coefficients together and the variables together. Do you know what we would get?
We can start by multiplying the coefficients together. (-3 and 1). We would then multiply m and m together just like we did with the last problem.
-3m^2
Correct! Next, we will multiply -3m and 8 together. The variable will just be m. What will the coefficient be? In other words, what does -3 times 8 equal?
-24m
so is it b
@bluediamond1999
Yes, it is b. Is that it or do you have another question? :-)
can you help me with another one pretty plz
