Answer:
Expand: x² + 11x + 11x + 121
Simplify: x² + 22x + 121
Explanation:
To expand this, you can use the FOIL technique:
First terms
Outer terms
Inner terms
Last terms
(x+11)(x+11)
F - x*x = x²
O - x*11 = 11x
I - 11*x = 11x
L - 11*11 = 121
Put these numbers together (expanded) to get:
x² + 11x + 11x + 121
Put the common terms together (simplify) to get:
x² + 22x + 121
Note:
Not sure if you need this info, but (x + 11)(x + 11) is the same as (x + 11)².
The numbers need to be in the order I put them in because you are supposed to place them in order greatest to least degree.
Hope it helps!
