Question

Write (x - 5)(x + 5)(2x - 1) in standard form.

-x2 + 2x2 - 50x + 25
2r? - x? - 50x + 25
2x - x2 - 50x
-50x - x? + 2x

Answer 1

2x3 - x2 - 50x + 25

Explanation:

So the first thing you would do is multiply (x - 5)(x + 5)

x2 + 5x - 5x - 25

then you would simplify

x2 - 25

then you would multiply it by 2x - 1

(x2 - 25)(2x - 1)

2x3 - x2 - 50x + 25

so your answer is

2x3 - x2 - 50x + 25
