question
express as a trinomial.
(3x - 1)(x + 5)
answer attempt 1 out of 10

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property (FOIL)

Multiply the First terms: \(3x \cdot x = 3x^2\)
Multiply the Outer terms: \(3x \cdot 5 = 15x\)
Multiply the Inner terms: \(-1 \cdot x = -x\)
Multiply the Last terms: \(-1 \cdot 5 = -5\)

Step2: Combine like terms

Combine the \(x\)-terms: \(15x - x = 14x\)
Now, combine all terms: \(3x^2 + 14x - 5\)

Answer:

\(3x^2 + 14x - 5\)
