- This question has several parts that must be completed sequentially.
(x + 2)(x − 9)(x − 4) - First, use the FOIL shortcut pattern as follows to find the product of the latter two binomials.
- Step 1. Multiply x · x.
- Step 2. Multiply −9 · x and −4 · x and combine.
Step 3. Multiply (−9) · (−4). - x + 2)(x − 9)(x − 4) = (x + 2) ( x^2 – _____ x + ____ )
