This week in math 10 I learned about factoring trinomials.

 

for example to factor you would look at the last number or the constants and see what numbers or multiples go along with the constants.

10 – 2 x 5, 10 x 1

from there you would see which number you add would be the same as the middle number

1+10=11 5+2=7

now we would use the and turn the equation into

to check to see if you are right solve the question you just factored and solve it using the claw method.

 

This week in math 10 I learned how to multiply binomials using  the FOIL method or the claw method. FOIL stands for first/front, outside, inside, last.

For example to solve this equations using FOIL or the claw method you would start with first, which would be which would leave us with

The next step would be to do the outside, which would be which gives us , now we have would do the inside which gives us, which gives us , now we would do last, , which would leave us with 56. At this point the equation should look like this

We’re not done yet though, now we would add the like terms and rewrite the equations in order to highest exponent to lowest. The final answer should be ,
