OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'd start in factored form and then multiply to get the polynomial. It seems like you can write 2 different binomials and then use a monomial to be the GCF.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you help me with that please!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I can help you put them together once you make them up. They can pretty much be whatever you want. Do you know what binomials and monomials are?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes i do :]. Binomials is a polynomial with "2" terms. Minomials are polynomials that only have "1" term.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's right. this question is literally asking you to make up 2 binomials and 1 monomial and then multiply them

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH. Can i make one real quick and can you check to make sure i am correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok give me 1 min.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2a^3)*(2a+3a)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OH I forgot 1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(2a^2) * (2a^3+3a)*(4a+3a^2)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That works perfectly.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But it says: "Rewrite that polynomial in two other equivalent forms. Explain how each form was created."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that can be one of your forms

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Another form comes when you multiply everything together. Do you know FOIL?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No sorry i don't.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last and it helps with distribution for binomials. You multiply the terms together, then add them up. We're going to use it to multiply the 2 binomials. |dw:1439422276593:dw|
