(6t^2+11)(6t^2-11)
I think I'm overthinking, but is this 0? Or do have to multiply them? If so, is 6t^2 multiplied by itself 36t^2 or 36t^4?

Do you know how to expand quadratic equations?

sepeario · Answer

Remember the acronym F.O.I.L (first, outside, inside, last)

Yea, we've had this problem before.

lol no you are underthinking!$$(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2$$

anonymous · Answer

Oh shoot totally forgot about F.O.I.L @Sepeario

anonymous · Answer

@misty1212 Lol, thanks. I got it.

sepeario · Answer

or using the difference of perfect squares oops lol ^^

anonymous · Answer

@Sepeario Yea, I remember. I'e just been doing so much geometry. I forgot about algebra :P

sepeario · Answer

i'm not trying to confuse you here but technically most quadratics = 0. so 'it is 0' :)

anonymous · Answer

Oh! I see~ Thanks! :) And no worries, you're not confusing me.
