How do you find the product of (t+4)(t-3)?

1 Answer

Use the distribution property.

Explanation:

In the destitution property each part of the parenthesis must be multiply by each part of the other parenthesis.

So multiply t times t and t times -3. This gives

t * (t-3) = t^2 - 3t

Then multiply +4 times t and + 4 times -3. This gives

4 * (t-3) = 4t -12

Last add 4t and -3t resulting +t. The complete answer is

t^2 + t -12
