Step-by-step solution for: Multiplying Polynomials | PDF
Since I can't view or access images directly, I’ll help you solve the polynomial multiplication problems from your worksheet based on the text you provided. Let’s go through each problem step by step and explain the process.
---
We will use the distributive property (FOIL method for binomials) to multiply each pair of polynomials.
---
#### 1. $(7x + 12)(4x + 7)$
Use FOIL:
- First: $7x \cdot 4x = 28x^2$
- Outer: $7x \cdot 7 = 49x$
- Inner: $12 \cdot 4x = 48x$
- Last: $12 \cdot 7 = 84$
Add:
$28x^2 + 49x + 48x + 84 = 28x^2 + 97x + 84$
✔ Answer: $28x^2 + 97x + 84$
---
#### 2. $(3x + 10)(3x + 4)$
FOIL:
- $3x \cdot 3x = 9x^2$
- $3x \cdot 4 = 12x$
- $10 \cdot 3x = 30x$
- $10 \cdot 4 = 40$
Add: $9x^2 + 12x + 30x + 40 = 9x^2 + 42x + 40$
✔ Answer: $9x^2 + 42x + 40$
---
#### 3. $(10x + 12)(8x + 2)$
FOIL:
- $10x \cdot 8x = 80x^2$
- $10x \cdot 2 = 20x$
- $12 \cdot 8x = 96x$
- $12 \cdot 2 = 24$
Add: $80x^2 + 20x + 96x + 24 = 80x^2 + 116x + 24$
✔ Answer: $80x^2 + 116x + 24$
---
#### 4. $(10x + 11)(10x + 4)$
FOIL:
- $10x \cdot 10x = 100x^2$
- $10x \cdot 4 = 40x$
- $11 \cdot 10x = 110x$
- $11 \cdot 4 = 44$
Add: $100x^2 + 40x + 110x + 44 = 100x^2 + 150x + 44$
✔ Answer: $100x^2 + 150x + 44$
---
#### 5. $(11x + 11)(2x - 6)$

✔ Answer: $-99x^2 - 207x - 108$
---
#### 9. $(-12x + 7)(12x + 7)$
This is a difference of squares: $(a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2$, but here it's $(a + b)(a + b)$ with signs.
Wait: $(-12x + 7)(12x + 7)$ — not quite difference of squares.
Better to FOIL:
- $-12x \cdot 12x = -144x^2$
- $-12x \cdot 7 = -84x$
- $7 \cdot 12x = 84x$
- $7 \cdot 7 = 49$
Add: $-144x^2 - 84x + 84x + 49 = -144x^2 + 0x + 49 = -144x^2 + 49$

#### 10. $(-5x^2 - 11x)(11x + 5)(-5x + 5)$
This is a triple product. We’ll do two at a time.

- $-5x^2 \cdot 5 = -25x^2$
- $-11x \cdot 11x = -121x^2$

Now multiply this result by $(-5x + 5)$:
Let $P = -55x^3 - 146x^2 - 55x$
Now: $P \cdot (-5x + 5)$
Distribute:
- $-55x^3 \cdot -5x = 275x^4$
- $-55x^3 \cdot 5 = -275x^3$
- $-146x^2 \cdot -5x = 730x^3$
- $-146x^2 \cdot 5 = -730x^2$
- $-55x \cdot -5x = 275x^2$
- $-55x \cdot 5 = -275x$
Now combine:
- $x^4$: $275x^4$
- $x^3$: $-275x^3 + 730x^3 = 455x^3$
- $x^2$: $-730x^2 + 275x^2 = -455x^2$
- $x$: $-275x$
✔ Answer: $275x^4 + 455x^3 - 455x^2 - 275x$

---
#### 9. $(-12x + 7)(12x + 7)$
This is a difference of squares: $(a + b)(a - b) = a^2 - b^2$, but here it's $(a + b)(a + b)$ with signs.

#### 10. $(-5x^2 - 11x)(11x + 5)(-5x + 5)$
This is a triple product. We’ll do two at a time.
First, multiply $(-5x^2 - 11x)(11x + 5)$
Distribute:
- $-5x^2 \cdot 11x = -55x^3$
- $-5x^2 \cdot 5 = -25x^2$
- $-11x \cdot 11x = -121x^2$
- $-11x \cdot 5 = -55x$
Add: $-55x^3 - 25x^2 - 121x^2 - 55x = -55x^3 - 146x^2 - 55x$
Now multiply this result by $(-5x + 5)$:
Let $P = -55x^3 - 146x^2 - 55x$
Now: $P \cdot (-5x + 5)$
Distribute:
- $-55x^3 \cdot -5x = 275x^4$
- $-55x^3 \cdot 5 = -275x^3$
- $-146x^2 \cdot -5x = 730x^3$
- $-146x^2 \cdot 5 = -730x^2$
- $-55x \cdot -5x = 275x^2$
- $-55x \cdot 5 = -275x$
Now combine:
- $x^4$: $275x^4$
- $x^3$: $-275x^3 + 730x^3 = 455x^3$
- $x^2$: $-730x^2 + 275x^2 = -455x^2$
- $x$: $-275x$
✔ Answer: $275x^4 + 455x^3 - 455x^2 - 275x$
