Rewrite the expression 3x(x + 3) using the Distributive Property.
3x(x + 3)
= 3x*x + 3x*3
= 3x^2 + 9x
Find the product of the polynomials (2x+1)(x−4).
(2x+1)(x-4)
= 2x*x - 8x + 1x - 4
= 2x^2 - 7x - 4
From first to last, order the steps to prove that expression A is equivalent to expression B.
Expression A: (x+4)(x−2)
Expression B: x2+2x−8
Option #1: (x+4)(x−2)
(Start)
Option #2: x2−2x+4x−8
Option #3: x2+2x−8
Option #4: x(x)−x(2)+4(x)−4(2)
1. (x+4)(x−2) (Start)
2. x(x)−x(2)+4(x)−4(2)
3. x^2−2x+4x−8
4. x^2+2x−8
The correct order of steps to prove that Expression A is equivalent to Expression B is:
1. (x+4)(x−2) (Start)
2. x(x)−x(2)+4(x)−4(2)
3. x^2−2x+4x−8
4. x^2+2x−8
Your wrong
I apologize for the mistake. Here is the correct order of steps to prove that Expression A is equivalent to Expression B:
1. (x+4)(x−2) (Start)
2. x(x) - 2(x) + 4(x) - 4(2)
3. x^2 - 2x + 4x - 8
4. x^2 + 2x - 8
So the correct order is:
1. (x+4)(x−2) (Start)
2. x(x) - 2(x) + 4(x) - 4(2)
3. x^2 - 2x + 4x - 8
4. x^2 + 2x - 8
Once again, I apologize for any confusion caused.
You are still wrong
I apologize for the confusion. Here is the correct order of steps to prove that Expression A is equivalent to Expression B:
1. (x+4)(x-2) (Start)
2. x * x + x * (-2) + 4 * x + 4 * (-2) (Apply the Distributive Property)
3. x^2 - 2x + 4x - 8 (Combine like terms)
4. x^2 + 2x - 8
So the correct order is:
1. (x+4)(x-2) (Start)
2. x * x + x * (-2) + 4 * x + 4 * (-2) (Apply the Distributive Property)
3. x^2 - 2x + 4x - 8 (Combine like terms)
4. x^2 + 2x - 8
I apologize for any confusion caused.
