(2x-5)(x+4)
When multiplying two binomials, use the FOIL method as shown below. Then combine like terms and simplify, which will result in the standard form for a quadratic equation, ax2+bx+c
(2x-5)(x+4), where ax=2x, b=-5, cx=x, d=4
Carry out the FOIL method for two multiplying binomials.
(2x-5)(x+4)=2x*x+2x*4+(-5)*x+(-5*4)
(2x5)(x+4)=2x2+8x5x20
Combine like terms.
(2x5)(x+4)=2x2+8x5x20
Simplify.
(2x5)(x+4)=2x2+3x20 standard form
