@Mehek14 help me ;~;

Answer 2

Consider the trinomial x^2-10xy+16y^2.
This can be factored into (x-2y)(x-8y).
To check this factorization use the distributive property to multiply this out. This is often remembered by the acronym FOIL where F = first terms, O = outer terms, I = inner terms, and L = last terms.
first terms: (x)(x) = x^2
outer terms: (x)(-8y) = -8xy
inner terms: (-2y)(x) = -2xy
last terms: (-2y)(-8y) = 16y^2
adding terms: x^2 - 8xy - 2xy +16y^2 = x^2-10xy+16y^2 (the original trinomial) So the factoring checks out.

wut

Answer 4

does anyone have a simpler explanation xD

Answer 5

Answer 6

what you can do is split one of the binomials and then apply the distributive property if f(x) = (x + 3)(x -2) split the 1st binomial f(x) = x(x -2) + 3(x -2) now apply the distributive property to get
f(x)=x2−2x+3x−6
which simplifies to
f(x)=x2+x−6
