a rectangle has sides measuring(2x+7) units and (5x+9) units.

debntone1998:

CREATE A FIFTH DEGREE POLYNOMIAL IN STANDARD FORM. HOW DO YOU KNOW IT IS IN STANDARD FORM

itsmehjay:

this is the standard form highest (degree) -> lowest -> constant

itsmehjay:

in order to put this in standard form, you need to apply the FOIL method

itsmehjay:

FOIL- first outside inside last make sure to distribute

mhanifa:

It seems you have two different questions posted. The first one is incomplete. Can you add more detail please?

snowflake0531:

(since the user left already) For the first one use FOIL \((a+b)(c+d) = a(c) + a(d) + b(c) + b(d)\) \((2x+7)(5x+9) \\2x(5x) + 2x(9) + 7(5x) + 7(9)\\ 10x^2 + 18x + 35x +63 \\ ​10x^2 + 53x + 63 \) For the second, an example would be \(2x^5 + 3x + 7\)

jimthompson5910:

Here's another approach: \( (2x+7)(5x+9)\\\\ y(5x+9) \ \text{ ... see note 1}\\\\ y(5x)+y(9)\\\\ 5xy+9y\\\\ 5x(y)+9(y)\\\ 5x(2x+7)+9(2x+7) \ \text{ ... see note 2}\\\\ 5x(2x)+5x(7)+9(2x)+9(7)\\\\ 10x^2+35x+18x+63\\\\ 10x^2+53x+63\\\\ \) note1: I replaced (2x+7) with y. Then I used the distribution rule in the next step note2: I plugged in y = 2x+7, ie replaced every copy of y with 2x+7, then I distributed twice more in the next step This is probably a bit wordy and you probably won't have this many steps, but it hopefully gives you a good idea of what's going on.
