multiply (v+3)(v-3)
To multiply (v + 3)(v - 3), we can use the FOIL method.
F: Multiply the First terms of each binomial:
(v) * (v) = v^2
O: Multiply the Outer terms of each binomial:
(v) * (-3) = -3v
I: Multiply the Inner terms of each binomial:
(3) * (v) = 3v
L: Multiply the Last terms of each binomial:
(3) * (-3) = -9
Now, let's combine all the terms:
v^2 - 3v + 3v - 9
The middle terms -3v and +3v cancel each other out. Therefore, the simplified expression is:
v^2 - 9
