Which expression is equivalent to (5x)(3x)?(5x)(3x)\textsf{?}

Multiply the coefficients: 53=15.5 \cdot 3 = 15\textsf{.} Add the exponents on xx: x1+1=x2.x^{1+1} = x^{2}\textsf{.} So the product is 15x2.15x^{2}\textsf{.}

Simplify: (5x2+3x+2)(2x25).(5x^2 + 3x + 2) - (2x^2 - 5)\textsf{.}

Distribute the minus sign: (5x2+3x+2)2x2+5.(5x^2 + 3x + 2) - 2x^2 + 5\textsf{.} Combine x2x^2 terms: 5x22x2=3x2.5x^2 - 2x^2 = 3x^2\textsf{.} The xx term stays 3x.3x\textsf{.} Combine constants: 2+5=7.2 + 5 = 7\textsf{.} Result: 3x2+3x+7.3x^2 + 3x + 7\textsf{.}

Which expression is equivalent to (x+2)(x+5)+3(x + 2)(x + 5) + 3?

Expand: (x+2)(x+5)=x2+5x+2x+10=x2+7x+10(x + 2)(x + 5) = x^2 + 5x + 2x + 10 = x^2 + 7x + 10. Then add 33: x2+7x+10+3=x2+7x+13x^2 + 7x + 10 + 3 = x^2 + 7x + 13.

Which expression is equivalent to (x4)2(x - 4)^{2}?

(x4)2=x22(x)(4)+42=x28x+16(x - 4)^{2} = x^{2} - 2(x)(4) + 4^{2} = x^{2} - 8x + 16.

Which expression is equivalent to (a3b4)(a1b2)?(a^3 b^{-4})(a^{-1} b^2)\textsf{?}

Add exponents on matching variables: a3+(1)b4+2=a2b2.a^{3+(-1)} b^{-4+2} = a^2 b^{-2}\textsf{.}

Simplify: (x2+4x5)+(2x24x+9).(x^2 + 4x - 5) + (2x^2 - 4x + 9)\textsf{.}

Combine x2x^2 terms: x2+2x2=3x2.x^2 + 2x^2 = 3x^2\textsf{.} The xx terms cancel: 4x4x=0.4x - 4x = 0\textsf{.} Combine constants: 5+9=4.-5 + 9 = 4\textsf{.} Result: 3x2+4.3x^2 + 4\textsf{.}

Practice playeasy

Which expression is equivalent to (x1)(x6)(x - 1)(x - 6)?

Expand: (x1)(x6)=x26xx+6=x27x+6(x - 1)(x - 6) = x^2 - 6x - x + 6 = x^2 - 7x + 6.

Practice playeasy

Which expression is equivalent to (2x+1)2(2x + 1)^{2}?

(2x+1)2=(2x)2+2(2x)(1)+12=4x2+4x+1(2x + 1)^{2} = (2x)^{2} + 2(2x)(1) + 1^{2} = 4x^{2} + 4x + 1.
