a.dividing two binomials
b.complex conjugates
c.foil
d.vertical multiplication

Respuesta :

Is FOIL method

c is the correct answer

Answer:

FOIL

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex](x-2)(-5x^2+x)=(x)(-5x^2)+(x)(x)+(-2)(-5x^2)+(-2)(x)[/tex]

[tex](x-2)(-5x^2+x)[/tex]

On the right hand side , x is multiplied with [tex]-5x^2+x[/tex]

Then -2 is multiplied with  [tex]-5x^2+x[/tex]

HEre x-2 is distributed inside the second parenthesis.

So FOIL method is applied to multiply both parenthesis

F- First terms are multiplied [tex](x)(-5x^2)[/tex]

O-outside terms are multiplied [tex](x)(x)[/tex]

I- Inside terms are multiplied [tex](-2)(-5x^2)[/tex]

L- last terms are multiplied [tex](-2)(x)[/tex]

FOIL method is applied
