All that is needed is a single counter-example.

One counter-example is to multiply the monomial x^3 with the binomial x^7-10x^4

We then get...

x^3*(x^7-10x^4) = x^3*x^7 + x^3*(-10x^4)

x^3*(x^7-10x^4) = x^10 - x^7

The result we get is a binomial as there are still only two terms here. We would need three terms to have a trinomial.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in the binomial ( there are 2 terms, by definition) is multiplied by the single term (monomial) so the answer will be  another binomial.

For example:

2x (x - 6)

= 2x^2 - 12x.

Find the area of the figure. <br><br> A = <br><br> Is it m, m2, or m3
enot [183]

Answer:

348 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is made up of a rectangle 24 m by 12 m, and a triangle with a 24 m base and a 5 m height.

A = LW + bh/2

A = 24 m * 12 m + (24 m)(5 m)/2

A = 288 m^2 + 60 m^2

A = 348 m^2

6x + 2x - 1 = 5x + 11
sammy [17]
6x + 2x - 1 = 5x + 11
        8x - 1 = 5x + 11
      - 5x       - 5x
        3x - 1 = 11
            + 1   + 1
             3x = 12
              3      3
               x = 4
