Practice makes perfect
a We want to simplify the expression by multiplying the binomials. To do so we will apply the Distributive Property.
(2x+1)(3x-2)
2x(3x-2)+1(3x-2)
6x^2-4x+1(3x-2)
6x^2-4x+3x-2
6x^2-x-2
b To simplify the expression by multiplying a binomial by a trinomial, we will apply the Distributive Property.
(2x+1)(3x^2-2x-5)
3x^2(2x+1)-2x(2x+1)-5(2x+1)
6x^3+3x^2-2x(2x+1)-5(2x+1)
6x^3+3x^2-4x^2-2x-5(2x+1)
6x^3+3x^2-4x^2-2x-10x-5
6x^3-x^2-12x-5
c We want to simplify the expression by multiplying the binomials. To do so we will apply the Distributive Property.
(3y-8)(- x+y)
3y(- x+y)-8(- x+y)
- 3xy +3y^2-8(- x+y)
- 3xy +3y^2+8x-8y
3y^2 - 3xy +8x-8y
d We want to simplify the expression by multiplying the binomials. To do so we will apply the Distributive Property.
(x-3y)(x+3y)
x(x-3y)+3y(x-3y)
x^2-3xy+3y(x-3y)
x^2-3xy+3xy-9y^2
x^2-9y^2
