Expand (x-2) (x-1). Must be in polynomial form.

To expand two terms such as these, we can use the method called FOIL (stands for First, Outer, Inner, Last). Here is what I mean:

We have two terms: (x - 2)(x - 1)

We should first multiply the First two terms of each term in order to complete the F stage:

(x)*(x) = x^{2}

So then, we take the two outer terms and multiply them together to complete the O stage:

(x)*(-1) = -x

So far we have two things that we have calculated; at the end of the FOIL process we will have four.

To keep going with the FOIL, we now multiply the two inner terms to complete the I stage:

(-2)*(x) = -2x

Last but not least, we need to complete the L stage - so we multiply the two last terms of each term:

(-2)*(-1) = 2

Now that we have our four terms, let us add them together and combine like terms:

x^{2}  + (-x) + (-2x) + 2

Since -x and -2x both have the x portion in common and they are added together, we can add them to create one single term:

-x + (-2x) = -3x

So now that we have our terms completed, we can combine into one polynomial equation:

x^{2} + (-3x) + 2 or x^{2} -3x+2

It's a little blurry sorry please help
Ghella [55]

<u>Answer:</u>

It's X=2

<u>Working out:</u>

<u>(left one):</u>

2(x+3)=10

2x+6=10

2x=10-6

2x=4

x=2

Working out:

(right one):

2(x+3) must be all divided by 2 so it will be x+3 and same for 10, it will be 5 so...

x+3=5

x=5-3

x=2

Hope it helps ^---^

Elden [556K]

Answer:

40 + 2r

Step-by-step explanation:

Well an hour has 60 minutes.

So 60 x 1/30 = 60/30 = 2 minutes for each person that didn't get into the job

60 x 1/3 = 60/3 = 20 minutes for the people that made it into the job.

20 x 2 = 40 minutes in total for the people that made it into the job.

We don't know how much people got rejected so:

The answer is

40 + 2r

Adriana, Henry, Malik, and Richard each design surveys to determine the most popular way seventh graders purchase music. Adriana
andriy [413]
The sample which is likely to produce the most valid result is Richard's sample because there was no statistical bias. Statistical bias is the systematic favoritism of certain individuals in the study. Just like what Adriana, Henry and Malik did in conducting their surveys, they choose people who are point of interest and also who are near them. In the way Richard conducted his survey, he used a random sampling technique, this is a method of selecting a sample from a population in such a way that every possible individual can be chosen and he doesn't know who these people are.
