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

The sum of two numbers is 63. The larger number is 23 more than the smaller number. What are the numbers?
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

x+y=63

x=y+23

y+23+y =63

2y +23 = 63

2y =40

y=40/2 =20

y = 20

x = 20+23=43

the numbers are 20 & 43

Complete the point slope equation of the line through (-5, 7) and (-4, 0).​
IgorLugansk [536]

For this case we have that by definition, the point-slope equation of a line is given by:

y = mx + b

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cut-off point with the y axis

We have two points:

(x_ {1}, y_ {1}): (- 5,7)\\(x_ {2}, y_ {2}): (- 4,0)

We found the slope:

m = \frac {y_ {2} -y_ {1}} {x_ {2} -x_ {1}} =  \frac {0-7} {- 4 - (- 5)} = \frac {-7} {-4 + 5} = \frac {-7} {1} = - 7

Thus, the equation is of the form:

y = -7x + b

We substitute one of the points and find "b":

0 = -7 (-4) + b\\0 = 28 + b\\b = -28

Finally, the equation is:

y = -7x-28

Answer:

y = -7x-28
