Answer:
x^2 -20x + 100
Step-by-step explanation:
How this works is that you multiply each number by every other number, so.
(x+a)(x+b) so you do x times x since the parenthesis multiplies them together. Then you do x times b.
Then you do a times x since a is the next number in the first pair. then you do a times b.
(* is the sign for multiplication for the sake of simplifying it and to be easier than doing something like x x x where you are multiplying x together with x.)
So in the expression (x + a)(x + b) you are basically doing
x * x + x * b + a * x + a * b
In your case, a is = to -10 and b is equal to -10
So your expression would be
x * x + x * -10 + -10 * x + -10 * -10
so x times x is x^2 and x times -10 is -10x You are doing -10 * x twice so it is -20x and -10 times -10 is 100
So the final equation would be x^2 plus -20x plus 100 or
x^2 + (-20x) + 100
which is
x^2 -20x + 100
Hope this helps!
