Question

find the product. simplify your answer. (v - 3)(v - 4)

Explanation:

Step1: Apply distributive property (FOIL)

$(v-3)(v-4) = v\cdot v + v\cdot(-4) + (-3)\cdot v + (-3)\cdot(-4)$

Step2: Calculate each term

$= v^2 - 4v - 3v + 12$

Step3: Combine like terms

$= v^2 - 7v + 12$

Answer:

$v^2 - 7v + 12$
