Question

The expression below is the factorization of what trinomial-1(x+5)(x+6)

Answer 1

Answer:

-x^2 - 11x -30

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve using foiling. Ignore the -1 to begin with and just look at the part in parenthesis. Do x from the first parenthesis times the stuff in the second parenthesis.

ie: x(x) and x(6)

ie: x^2 + 6x

Then do the 5 times the things in the second parenthesis.

ie: 5(x) and 5(6)

ie: 5x + 30

Then add what you got from multiplying the first value to what you got from multiplying the second.

ie: x^2 + 11x + 30

This is a trinomial because it has three different variables. Now change all the signs to negative because of the -1 out front.

ie: -x^2 - 11x -30
