Answer:

Using the common factor rule we can simplify it to just one term.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we multiply two binomials we will have four terms but two of them have the same variables and using the common factor rule we can simplify it to just one term. Let's show it with an example.

We have two binomials:

(x+a)(x+b)

Using the distributive rule we will have

(x+a)(x+b)=x^{2}+xb+ax+ab

Here we have four terms, but if we see xb and ax have a common term, x.

So let's use common factor rule to simplify it:

(x+a)(x+b)=x^{2}+xb+ax+ab=x^{2}+x(a+b)+ab

Now we have three terms. That is why the final result when you factor a quadratic expression of three terms also a product of two binomials.

I hope it helps you!

Consider the function f(x)= (x+4)(x-2) what is the equation of the axis of symmetry
almond37 [142]

if we zero out f(x), namely make y = 0, we can get the roots or x-intercepts for this quadratic equation

\bf 0 = (x+4)(x-2)\implies \begin{cases} 0=x+4\implies &-4=x\\ 0=x-2\implies &2=x \end{cases}

now, the equation is in x-terms, meaning is a vertically opening parabola, so the axis of symmetry will be x = something, a vertical line.

well, we have two x-intercepts, one at -4 and another at 2, and the vertex is right half-way between those guys

-4------------(-1)------------2

so the vertex is at x=-1, namely the axis of symmetry is x = -1.
