Question

Use the FOIL method to find the product below. (x + 5)(x2 – 3x)

Answer 1

Correct answer is x^3 + 2x*2 - 15x

Answer 2

(x + 5)(x² - 3x)

Use FOIL (First, Outside, Inside, Last)

x(x²) = x³
x(-3x) = -3x²
5(x²) = 5x²
5(-3x) = -15x

Combine like terms:

x³ - 3x² + 5x² - 15x

x³ + 2x² - 15

x³ + 2x² - 15 is your answer

hope this helps
