QuestionDistribute and simplify using the box method: (3x+3)(2x1)(-3x + 3)(2x - 1).

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. We are given the expression (3x+3)(x1)(-3x+3)(x-1). We are to use the box method to distribute and simplify this expression

STEP 2

The box method involves drawing a box and dividing it into four sections. Each term in the first binomial will form a row, and each term in the second binomial will form a column.
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline-x & \\ \hline2x & -1 \\ \hline\end{tabular}

STEP 3

Next, we multiply the term in each row by the term in each column and write the result in the corresponding box.
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline-3x *2x & -3x * -1 \\ \hline3 *2x &3 * -1 \\ \hline\end{tabular}

STEP 4

Perform the multiplication in each box.
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline-6x^2 &3x \\ \hline6x & -3 \\ \hline\end{tabular}

STEP 5

Finally, we add up all the terms in the boxes to get the simplified form of the expression.
x2+3x+x3-x^2 +3x +x -3

STEP 6

Combine like terms.
6x2+9x3-6x^2 +9x -3So, the simplified form of the expression (3x+3)(2x1)(-3x+3)(2x-1) using the box method is 6x2+9x3-6x^2 +9x -3.
