Example Question #4903 : Algebra 1
Multiply. Select the answer that is equivalent to this expression.
2x, (x+1), and (x-1) are separate factors being multiplied, so it doesn't matter what order you multiply them together. I choose to multiply (x+1) and (x-1) first.
Example Question #4904 : Algebra 1
Multiply. Select the answer that is equivalent to this expression.
Following the pattern of FOIL, we muliply each element of each polynomial with each other and add them together:
