Example Questions

Example Question #231 : Intermediate Single Variable Algebra

Solve: (7x-4)(3-9x)

Possible Answers:

-63x^2-24x-12

-63x^2-15x-12

-63x^2+57x-12

-63x^2-57x-12

-63x^2-15x-12

Correct answer:

-63x^2+57x-12

Explanation:

Use the FOIL method to simplify the expression. Multiply each term of the first binomial with the terms of the second binomial.

(7x)(3)+(7x)(-9x)+(-4)(3)+(-4)(-9x)

Simplify the expression.

21x-63x^2-12+36x

Combine like-terms and reorder all the terms from highest to lowest order.

The answer is: -63x^2+57x-12

Example Question #71 : Quadratic Equations And Inequalities

Solve: $(\pi-3)(1-3\pi)$

Possible Answers:

$-3\pi^2-10\pi-3$

$-3\pi^2+8\pi-3$

$-3\pi^2-8\pi-3$

$4\pi^2-10$

$-3\pi^2+10\pi-3$

Correct answer:

$-3\pi^2+10\pi-3$

Explanation:

We can expand this expression by using the FOIL method.

Follow the given template and substitute.

(a+b)(c+d) = ac+ad+bc+bd

$(\pi-3)(1-3\pi)$

$=(\pi)(1)+(\pi)(-3\pi)+(-3)(1)+(-3)(-3\pi)$

Simplify the terms.

$=\pi-3\pi^2-3+9\pi$

Combine like-terms.

The answer is: $-3\pi^2+10\pi-3$

Solve the expression: (4-x)(7+6x)

Possible Answers:

-6x^2+17x+28

-6x^2-31x+28

-6x^2-17x+28

-6x^2-12x+38

-6x^2+31x+28

Correct answer:

-6x^2+17x+28

Explanation:

Use the FOIL method to simplify this expression.

Multiply each term of the first binomial with the terms of the second binomial.

(4)(7) + (4)(6x) + (-x)(7) + (-x)(6x)

Simplify the expression.

28+24x-7x-6x^2

Combine like terms.

The answer is: -6x^2+17x+28

Example Question #71 : Quadratic Equations And Inequalities

Evaluate: $(\sqrt{3}-3)(\sqrt5-5)$

Possible Answers:

$-7\sqrt5 +15$

$\sqrt{15}-5\sqrt3 -3\sqrt5 +15$

$\sqrt{15}-8\sqrt3 +15$

$-7\sqrt{15} +15$

$\sqrt{15}-8\sqrt5 +15$

Correct answer:

$\sqrt{15}-5\sqrt3 -3\sqrt5 +15$

Explanation:

Use the FOIL method to simplify this expression. Use the following template:

(a+b)(c+d)= ac+ad+bc+bd

$(\sqrt{3}-3)(\sqrt5-5)$

$= (\sqrt{3})(\sqrt{5 })+(\sqrt{3})(-5)+(-3)(\sqrt{5})+(-3)(-5)$

Simplify each term. Uncommon radical terms cannot be combined.

The answer is: $\sqrt{15}-5\sqrt3 -3\sqrt5 +15$

-9x^4-16x^2+12

-9x^4-23x^2+12

-9x^4-48x^2+12

-9x^4-31x^2+12

Correct answer:

-9x^4-23x^2+12

Explanation:

Use the FOIL method to simplify this expression. Use the following formula as a template to solve the expression:

(w+x)(y+z)= wy+wz+xy+xz

For (x^2+3)(-9x^2+4) ,

(x^2)(-9x^2)+(x^2)(4)+(3)(-9x^2)+(3)(4)

Simplify all the terms.

-9x^4+4x^2-27x^2+12

Combine like terms.

The answer is: -9x^4-23x^2+12

Example Question #56 : Foil

Simplify the binomials: $(\frac{2}{3}x+3)(\frac{2}{5}x+2)$

Possible Answers:

$\textup{The answer is not given.}$

$\frac{4}{15}x^2+\frac{14}{5}x+6$

$\frac{1}{2}x^2+\frac{38}{15}x+6$

$\frac{1}{2}x^2+\frac{14}{5}x+6$

$\frac{4}{15}x^2+\frac{38}{15}x+6$

Correct answer:

$\frac{4}{15}x^2+\frac{38}{15}x+6$

Explanation:

Use the FOIL method to simplify this expression.

$(\frac{2}{3}x+3)(\frac{2}{5}x+2)$

$=(\frac{2}{3}x)(\frac{2}{5}x)+(\frac{2}{3}x)(2)+(3)(\frac{2}{5}x)+(3)(2)$

Simplify all the terms in parentheses.

$\frac{4}{15}x^2+\frac{4}{3}x+\frac{6}{5}x+6$

Combine the center two terms.

$\frac{4}{3}x+\frac{6}{5}x = \frac{20}{15}x+\frac{18}{15}x = \frac{38}{15}x$

The answer is: $\frac{4}{15}x^2+\frac{38}{15}x+6$
