Modeling Polynomials
Key: Expanded = Simplified = Explanation = First I expanded the expression. Since = 4×4, then has to equal . Then I simplified the expression using the FOIL method. First – (x)(x) = , outside – (x)(1) = x, inside (x)(1), and then last = 1×1. Then I added them up. Expanded = Simplified = Explanation = For this one, I expanded…
