Question

(a + 3)(a - 2) (multiplying polynomials by polynomials is the assignment, i need help lol)

Answer 1

a² + a - 6

Explanation:

(a + 3)(a - 2) = a² - 2a + 3a - 6 = a² + a - 6

Answer 2

a^2 +a -6

Explanation:

(a + 3)(a - 2)

FOIL

first: a*a = a^2

outer: -2*a = -2a

inner: 3*a =3a

Last : -2*3 = -6

Add them together

a^2 -2a+3a -6

Combine like terms

a^2 +a -6
