Answer:

Distributive property is used to expand expressions by multiplying the factor to every term in the group and combining similar terms if there are any. Hope this helps!

Step-by-step explanation:

An example is...

Factoring trinomials
Tcecarenko [31]

c^22c^2 + 13c +21 \\4c^2 + 13(2)c + 42\\(2c + 6)(2c+7)\\(c+3)(2c+7)


This is a way to factoring trinomials (there exist different equivalent methods).

Multiply the trinomial but the term accompanying  c^2. This is the second line. Then, you could take the square of the 4c^2, ant try to create a factor () () that will correspond to the expression in the second line. That is, we want 4c^2 + 13(2) c + 42 = (2c + ?) (2c + ?)

In ? we put the corresponding numbers that, if we multiply them we will obtain 42, and if we add them we will obtain 13. This numbers are 6 and 7. Then, we have (2c + 6) (2c +7)

The last step is divide by the number that we multipy in the first step.

Graph of a cubic polynomial that falls to the left and rises to the right with x intercepts negative 3, negative 2, and 2
Tasya [4]

Answer:

f(x) = x3 + 3x2 − 4x − 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A polynomial which falls tot he left and rises to the right is a function with a positive leading coefficient. Its formed by the x-intercepts or zeros x = -3, -2 and 2. The zeros form the factors (x+3)(x+2)(x-2). Multiply the factors using the distributive property to find the function in standard form.

(x+3)(x+2)(x-2)

(x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6)(x-2)

(x^2 + 5x + 6)(x-2)

x^3 + 5x^2 + 6x -2x^2 - 10x - 12

x^3 + 3x^2 - 4x - 12
