FAN AND MEDAL TO FIRST TO ANSWER CORRECTLY (problem in comments)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find the product (multiplying polynomials by monomials) f(f^2 + 2f +25)

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Whoa! OpenStudy was not set up to do work for you and then provide you with correct answers. Please do not post questions starting with "fan and medal for first correct answer." In the problem you've posted, f is a variable. Use the distributive property of multiplication to multiply that out. You should end up with 3 terms, just as you start with 3 terms.

i put that because i saw oher people doint it and it attracted people to help them. ok and i got 2f^2+2f+25

Directrix (directrix):

> 2f^2+2f+25 is not correct. f * f^2 is not 2*f^2 f^1 * f^2 = f^3 When multiplying exponential expressions with the same base, add the exponents. @Jukeb0x

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Again: OpenStudy was not set up to do work for you and then provide you with correct answers. Please do not post questions starting with "fan and medal for first correct answer." You need to use the Distributive Property of Multiplication to obtain the correct answer. Several other rules are needed also. Note that f*f^2 is the same as [ f^1]* [f^2]. As Directrix has already said, ADD together the exponts to get the final, correct product (result). What is 1+2? Use that as the exponent for f. Try to finish the rest of the problem y ourself.

i dont need your help anymore @mathmale i already got help and they weren't as rude, i wasnt looking for answers i was looking for someone to help me solve it and i got it, what would i look like getting the answer and then not being able to do it when im taking a test or something.

OpenStudy (mathmale):

Whether you realize it or not, "first correct answer" means "give me the answer." This is not acceptable. Ask for guidance through the solution of the problem, so that y ou end up learning how to solve similar problems yourself. If you think I'm rude, too bad. If you haven't read OpenStudy's Rules of Conduct, perhaps now is the time to do so.
