Question 1023554: Hi! My question is an expression, that has parenthesis. I need to convert it, so it does not have parenthesis. Like using the FOIL, but I'm a little confused about that. The expression is (x^2 + 3x - 4)(x - 5). How do I find the equivalent? I only have x^3 __ __ + 20. If this makes sense, please help me! And thank you so much!
