Question

multiply the binomials using the area (box) method. fill out the table and then submit your final answer below. remember to use the ^ key to type an exponent (shift 6). (x - 3)(x - 4)

Explanation:

Step1: Multiply first - terms

Multiply the first terms of each binomial: $x\times x=x^{2}$.

Step2: Multiply outer - terms

Multiply the outer terms: $x\times(- 4)=-4x$.

Step3: Multiply inner - terms

Multiply the inner terms: $(-3)\times x=-3x$.

Step4: Multiply last - terms

Multiply the last terms: $(-3)\times(-4) = 12$.

Step5: Combine like terms

Combine the $x$ - terms: $-4x-3x=-7x$. Then the result is $x^{2}-7x + 12$.

Answer:

$x^{2}-7x + 12$
