Is this right

Taylor715:

what

UkuleleGirl:

UkuleleGirl:

Yes that is correct.

UkuleleGirl:

i-lets try it.

UkuleleGirl:

but I only feel confortable actually waiting until its mark or ext.

UkuleleGirl:

Bcs i dont want it to be wrong and have my mom yell at me

Extrinix:

\(3\times 9\) is \(-27\)٫ did you mean \(-27\) instead of \(-26\)?

UkuleleGirl:

no...

SwaggyMark:

again you can use foil (3x+1)(x-9) fronts 3x * x = 3x^2 outers : 3x * -9 = -27x inners : 1 * x = x lasts-9 * 1 = -9 add everything back together 3x^2 - 27x + x - 9 combine like terms 3x^2 - 26x - 9

Taylor715:

-26

they match so (3x+1)(x-9) is indeed the factored form

UkuleleGirl:

uhhh u got to teachme in dms how to use foil bcs ima be hours learning this.

UkuleleGirl:

wait wait...i think i get it now.hold on

UkuleleGirl:

I'm going to try it...

UkuleleGirl:

but someone please try to teach me foil in the dms when you get time.

Extrinix:

\((a+b)(y+z)\) \(a\times y\) \(a\times z\) \(b\times y\) \(b\times z\) If you understand it...

UkuleleGirl:

Yea....it makes sense.

UkuleleGirl:

Thanks...

UkuleleGirl:

uhm.

UkuleleGirl:

either i wrote it wrong, but it says wrong..

UkuleleGirl:

this is what i put \[\left(3x+1\right)\left(x-1\right) \]

UkuleleGirl:

but it said it was wrong......

UkuleleGirl:

im not sure if i wrote it wrong

UkuleleGirl:

oh wait no wonder i wrote 1 instead of 9
