A greenhouse that specializes in growing geraniums is divided into sections. The number of geranium pots in each section depends on the number of sprinklers in that section.
There are x(7x − 2) pots of red geraniums and (x + 3)2 pots of pink geraniums in a section with x sprinklers.
Which simplified expression represents the total number of red and pink geranium pots in a section with x sprinklers?
8x2 + 4x + 9
8x2 + 6x + 9
8x2 + 6x + 7
8x4 + 4x2 + 9
OpenStudy (plasmataco):
ok

Is he correct?

7x^2 - 2x
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
how about (x+3)^2 ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
x^2 + 9?
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
nope
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
close though

you have to FOIL
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
\[\Large (a+b)^2 \neq a^2 + b^2\]
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
\[\Large (a+b)^2 = (a+b)*(a+b)\]
then FOIL
OpenStudy (anonymous):
I never understood how to use FOIL :(
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
why not try a table then
