Need help showing me the steps without using the carrot function:
Find the product.
(2y + 2z)(2y - 3z)
Didn't realize that I had been away from education this long.
What in the world in the carrot function ??
BTW, to expand
(2y + 2z)(2y - 3z) in the ancient mathematical way is
4y^2 - 9z^2 after I realized I was dealing with the difference of square pattern.
Its this symbol^ the computer on our webassign online doesn't recognize it so we need to replace that symbol^with a number so that's where I am lost
To find the product of the given expression (2y + 2z)(2y - 3z) without using the carrot (^) function, you need to use the distributive property and combine similar terms.
Step 1: Start by multiplying the first terms of each binomial:
(2y)(2y) = 4y^2
Step 2: Multiply the outer terms:
(2y)(-3z) = -6yz
Step 3: Multiply the inner terms:
(2z)(2y) = 4yz
Step 4: Multiply the last terms of each binomial:
(2z)(-3z) = -6z^2
Step 5: Now, combine all the terms obtained:
4y^2 - 6yz + 4yz - 6z^2
Step 6: Simplify by combining like terms:
4y^2 - 2yz - 6z^2
So, the product of (2y + 2z)(2y - 3z) without using the carrot function is 4y^2 - 2yz - 6z^2.
