Answer:

  x^4 -11x^2 +28

Step-by-step explanation:

The FOIL method tells you to form the products of ...

  First terms: (x^2)(x^2) = x^4

  Outer terms: (x^2)(-4) = -4x^2 . . . . first term of first factor × last term of last factor

  Inner terms: (-7)(x^2) = -7x^2 . . . . terms next to the adjacent parentheses

  Last terms: (-7)(-4) = 28 . . . . . . . . . second term of each binomial

The only terms that need to be combined are the Outer and Inner terms. In this product, their sum is ...

  -4x^2 -7x^2 = -11x^2

Then the product is x^4 -11x^2 +28.

_____

Apart from your multiplication tables (or use of your calculator), you only need to know how to find the exponent of the product of powers of x. That result is the sum of the exponents of the factors:

  (x^a)(x^b) = x^(a+b)

  (x^2)(x^2) = x^(2+2) = x^4

_____

<em>Comment on FOIL</em>

The term FOIL is intended to be a mnemonic to remind you how to multiply two binomials. The method only works with two binomials.

The more general case is the use of the distributive property, which is needed for multiplying sums that are not binomials.

Using the distributive property gets you the same place in the end:

  (x^2 -7)(x^2 -4) = x^2(x^2 -4) -7(x^2 -4) . . . . . second factor multiplies each term of the first factor

Now you can go the next step to distribute the outside factor to all the inside terms:

  = (x^2)(x^2) +(x^2)(-4) -7(x^2) -7(-4)

  = x^4 -4x^2 -7x^2 +28 . . . . . . . same terms as FOIL, above

  = x^4 -11x^2 +28 . . . . . . . . . . . . same product as above

A travel company is selling two different suitcases, each in the shape of a rectangular prism. Which statement is true?
9966 [12]

Answer:

Suitcase 2 is the better deal because it is less expensive than Suitcase 1 by approximately $0.01 per cubic inch ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find the volume of each suitcase and find the price per cubic inch to chose the better deal

The formula of the volume of a rectangular prism is V = L × W × H, where

  • L is the length of it
  • W is the width of it
  • H is the height of it

Suitcase 1:

∵ Its length is 14 inches

∵ Its width is 9 inches

∵ Its height is 22 inches

- Substitute them in the formula of the volume above

∵ V = 14 × 9 × 22

∴ V = 2772 inches³

∵ The cost of it is $139.99

- Divide the cost by the volume to find the cost per cubic inch

∵ The cost per cubic inch = 139.99 ÷ 2772

∴ The cost per cubic inch ≅ 0.05

∴ The cost per cubic inch is approximately $0.05

Suitcase 2:

∵ Its length is 18 inches

∵ Its width is 10 inches

∵ Its height is 22 inches

- Substitute them in the formula of the volume above

∵ V = 18 × 10 × 22

∴ V = 3960 inches³

∵ The cost of it is $158.99

- Divide the cost by the volume to find the cost per cubic inch

∵ The cost per cubic inch = 158.99 ÷ 3960

∴ The cost per cubic inch ≅ 0.04

∴ The cost per cubic inch is approximately $0.04

∵ 0.04 is less than 0.05

∵ 0.05 - 0.04 = 0.01

∴ Suitcase 2 is less expensive than suitcase 1 by $0.01

∴ Suitcase 2 is the better deal

Suitcase 2 is the better deal because it is less expensive than Suitcase 1 by approximately $0.01 per cubic inch
