Answer 2

huh?

Answer 3

you're usually good with math

Answer 4

he left

Answer 5

ye *she left

Answer 6

ohh srry

Answer 7

ok so do you know what the FOIL method is?

Answer 8

yea but i dont remember exactly i heard about it though

Answer 9

so it's like
F: first terms
O:outer terms
I: inner terms
L: last terms.

so if we have (3x+8)(x+6) then we need to multiply the first term of each set.
this is going to be 3x(x)

do you know what that equals?

Answer 10

3x²

Answer 11

48

Answer 12

woah mb. what is 3x(6)

Answer 13

18x

Answer 14

yes,and you already did the outer terms which was 48, so now what is 8(x)

Answer 15

8x

Answer 16

Okay

Answer 17

so you have \[3x^2 + 18x+ 48+ 8x\]

now, combine like terms

what do you get?

Answer 18

x⁴

Answer 19

no. okay so the ONLY things in this equation that we can combine is the 18x and 8x. this is because the 3x squared has a square sign but the 18x and 8x do not.


do you follow?

Answer 20

yes

Answer 21

so what is 18x+8x

Answer 22

26x

Answer 23

good job. now you are left with
\[3x^2 + 26x+48\]

Answer 24

that's your trinomial

Answer 25

thank u
