Capitolo 1, Problema 26

Find each product. (2x−5)(7x+2)

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the two binomials to be multiplied: \((2x - 5)\) and \((7x + 2)\).
Apply the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method) to multiply each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial: First, Outer, Inner, Last.
Multiply the First terms: \(2x \times 7x = 14x^{2}\).
Multiply the Outer terms: \(2x \times 2 = 4x\) and the Inner terms: \(-5 \times 7x = -35x\).
Multiply the Last terms: \(-5 \times 2 = -10\), then combine like terms \$4x$ and $-35x$ to simplify the expression.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Distributive Property

The distributive property allows you to multiply a single term by each term inside a parenthesis. For example, in (a + b)(c + d), you multiply each term in the first parenthesis by each term in the second. This property is essential for expanding products of binomials.

Multiplying Binomials

Multiplying binomials involves applying the distributive property twice or using the FOIL method (First, Outer, Inner, Last) to multiply each term in the first binomial by each term in the second. This process results in a polynomial expression.

Combining Like Terms

After multiplying, you often get terms with the same variable and exponent. Combining like terms means adding or subtracting these terms to simplify the expression into its simplest polynomial form.
