You can put this solution on YOUR website!
using the distributive law, you would simplify this as follows:\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(p - 11) * (p - 11) equals p * (p - 11) - 11 * (p - 11)\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "that equals p^2 - 11p - 11p + 121\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "combine like terms to get p^2 - 22p + 121\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the expression (p - 11) * (p - 11) is equivalent to the expression p^2 - 22p + 121.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "if you graph both those equations (by replacing p with x), you will find that both equations draw the same, identical graph.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "the graph is a parabola that points down and faces up with the zero points on the graph at x = 11.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
