In the instructions for this problem I am told to distribute -4x^2. Why?
the order of operations is the order in which to simlify
if you look inside the parenthases, all like terms have been combined so the inside of parenthasees have already been simlified
expanding the exponents won't make it any easier so we move to distriubiting (or mulitplying)
so then the next step is mulitply -4x^2 by the trinomial
<span>In
the order of operations you must do problems inside parentheses first.
Why does multiplying monomials by polynomials change this? </span>multiplying monomails by polynomials does not change this
<span>Would the answer come out different if I did the work according to the order of operations?
no because distributing first is what you should do if you follow order of operations

Answer:
Height of the cereal box = 18 in.
Step-by-step explanation:
A cereal box is in the shape of a cuboid.
And volume of a cuboid is represented by the expression,
Volume = Length × Width × Height
It's given that volume of the box = 432 in³
Length of the base = 2 in.
Width of the base = 12 in
By substituting these values in the expression,
432 = 2 × 12 × h
h = 
h = 18 in.
Therefore, height of the cereal box is 18 in.
Answer:
x= 20 x =-5
Step-by-step explanation:
x^2 – 15x – 100 = 0.
What two numbers multiply to -100 and add to -15
-20 * 5 = -100
-20 +5 = -15
(x-20) (x+5) =0
Using the zero product property
x-20 =0 x+5 = 0
x= 20 x =-5
