A honeybee sitting on a tulip wanted to fly to a daffodil located 100 meters due east. Although the honeybee flew in a straight
line, it mistakenly flew in a direction 5° south of east. When the bee was directly south of the daffodil, how far was the bee from the daffodil? Show or explain your work.

You did not give any choices but this can easily be solved using the FOIL method.
FOIL stands for First, Outside, Inside, Last.
In your equation you have (6x-2)(6x+2)
You will multiply the terms that correspond to each letter
First: Means first terms of each set. In this case 6x and 6x
6x x 6x =
Now you have your first term in the sequence.
Outside: Means terms found in the outside areas of the whole equation, in this case it is 6x and 2
6x x 2 = 12x Now this is the second term
Inside: Means terms found in the inside areas of the whole equation, in this case it is -2 and 6x
-2 x 6x = -12x Now this is your third term
Last: Means the last terms of each set. In this case it is -2 and 2
-2 x 2 = -4 This is your last term
Now you have what you need for your new equation:
Because your second and third terms are like terms, you can combine them by doing the operation indicated. 12x-12x = 0 so now you can cancel it out from your equation and your left with:
This is your product
