@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here, you have to apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition, namely, we can write this: \[\Large - \left( { - 3{x^3} + 2} \right) = \left( { - 1} \right) \cdot \left( { - 3{x^3} + 2} \right) = 3{x^3} - 2\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so we get: \[\large 4{x^2} - 2x - 1 - \left( { - 3{x^3} + 2} \right) = 4{x^2} - 2x - 1 + 3{x^3} - 2 = ...?\] please continue

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Umm

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

3x^3 + 4x^2 - 2x - 3?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Awesome!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

thanks! :)

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Help with more?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here you have to combine similar terms, so we can rewrite, your expression as follows: \[\Large 16{x^2} - 15{x^2} + 2x + 14x + 2 - 1 = ...?\]

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

And um, I don't mean to be rude but can you kinda hurry I have family on the way down from out of state.

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

31x^2 +16x +1?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

hint: 16-15=1 2+14=16 2-1=1

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Or x^2 +16x +1

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

\[\Large 3{x^2} - 4{x^2} - 2x + 5x + 6 + 9 = ...?\] 3-4=... -2+5=... 6+9=...

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

-x^2 + 7x + 15?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

+3x since -2x+5x=3x

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Huh?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

we have +3x in place of 7x

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

So A?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes! \[3{x^2} - 4{x^2} - 2x + 5x + 6 + 9 = - {x^2} + 3x + 15\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

\[\Large 3{x^2} - 5{x^2} + 5x - 7x + 3 + 2 = ...\] +3-5=... 5-7=... 3+2=...

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

B, -2x^2 - 2x + 5?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

perfect!

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

-12x +15?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here we have to apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition, so we can write: \[ - 3\left( {4x + 5} \right) = - 3 \cdot \left( {4x} \right) + \left( { - 3} \right) \cdot 5\]

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

-12x + 15?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, since -3*5 = -15

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

So, -12x - 15?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct!

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

3 more please?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

ok!

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

first question: as before, we have to apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition, so we can write: \[\begin{gathered} 5{k^2}\left( { - 6{k^2} - 2k + 6} \right) = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = 5{k^2} \cdot \left( { - 6{k^2}} \right) + 5{k^2} \cdot \left( { - 2k} \right) + 5{k^2} \cdot 6 = ... \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

C? -k^4 + 3k^3 + 11k^2

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, because you have to compute multiplications, not additions: 5*(-6)=-30 5*(-2)=-10 5*6=30

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

yes!

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

And the second one is -42^2?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

second question: \[\left( { - 6x} \right) \cdot \left( {7{x^2}} \right) = \left( { - 6} \right) \cdot 7 \cdot x \cdot {x^2} = ...\] again you have to compute multiplications only

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

-42x^2*

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

no, because x*x^2 = x^(1+2)=...

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

-42x^3?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

third question:

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

13y^2 -11y?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

or y^2 -3y

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

as before, for previous exercises, we have to apply the distributive property of multiplication over addition, or also the foil method is a good procedure which we can apply. In both cases we can write this:

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Is it A or C?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

\[\begin{gathered} \left( {6{y^2} - 4y} \right)\left( {7{y^2} - 7y} \right) = \hfill \\ = \left( {6{y^2}} \right) \cdot \left( {7{y^2}} \right) + \left( {6{y^2}} \right) \cdot \left( { - 7y} \right) + \left( { - 4y} \right) \cdot \left( {7{y^2}} \right) + \left( { - 4y} \right) \cdot \left( { - 7y} \right) = ... \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

D?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

Sorry I am being such a trouble

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

next step is: \[\begin{gathered} \left( {6{y^2} - 4y} \right)\left( {7{y^2} - 7y} \right) = \hfill \\ = \left( {6{y^2}} \right) \cdot \left( {7{y^2}} \right) + \left( {6{y^2}} \right) \cdot \left( { - 7y} \right) + \left( { - 4y} \right) \cdot \left( {7{y^2}} \right) + \left( { - 4y} \right) \cdot \left( { - 7y} \right) = \hfill \\ = 42{y^4} - 42{y^3} - 28{y^3} + 28{y^2} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

sorry I have made a big error

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

here is the right step, we have to compute the sum not multiplication

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

\[\begin{gathered} \left( {6{y^2} - 4y} \right) + \left( {7{y^2} - 7y} \right) = \hfill \\ = 6{y^2} + 7{y^2} - 4y - 7y \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

6+7=13 -4-7=-11

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

Sorry again for my error!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

do you recognize, the right option?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

A?

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

My first choice

OpenStudy (i_love_my_nieces):

@Michele_Laino hello?

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!
