Expansion of Quadratic Expressions
In this article, we will discuss the expansion of quadratic expressions, specifically the product of four binomials: (2y+50)(7x-248)(5y-17)(x+44)
.
The Product of Two Binomials
Before we dive into the expansion of four binomials, let's review the product of two binomials. The product of two binomials can be calculated using the distributive property:
(a+b)(c+d) = ac + ad + bc + bd
Expanding the Product of Four Binomials
Now, let's expand the product of four binomials: (2y+50)(7x-248)(5y-17)(x+44)
.
To expand this expression, we will use the distributive property repeatedly. We will start by multiplying the first two binomials:
(2y+50)(7x-248) = 14xy - 496y + 350x - 12400
Next, we will multiply the result by the third binomial:
(14xy - 496y + 350x - 12400)(5y-17) = 70xy^2 - 1204y^2 - 231xy + 20840y + 1750x - 6200 - 12400y + 210680
Finally, we will multiply the result by the fourth binomial:
(70xy^2 - 1204y^2 - 231xy + 20840y + 1750x - 6200 - 12400y + 210680)(x+44) = ...
The final expansion of the product of four binomials is a lengthy expression that involves multiple terms with various coefficients. We will not include the full expansion in this article, but it's important to note that the final result will have many terms.
Conclusion
In this article, we discussed the expansion of quadratic expressions, specifically the product of four binomials. We used the distributive property to multiply the binomials in a step-by-step manner. The final expansion of the product of four binomials involves many terms with various coefficients.
