What is the missing coefficient of the x-term of the product (–x – 5)2 after it has been simplified?
(–x – 5)2 = x2 + x + 25

Respuesta :

the missing coefficient of the x-term of the product (–x – 5)2 after it has been simplified is the below:

(–x – 5)2 = x2 + 10x + 25

Thank you for posting your question here at brainly. I hope the answer will help you. Feel free to ask more questions here.

we have

[tex] (-x-5)^{2} [/tex]

we know that

[tex] (-x-5)^{2}=(-x-5)*(-x-5) [/tex]

To multiply two binomial I can use the FOIL method

[tex] (-x-5)*(-x-5) =(-x)*(-x)+(-x)*(-5)+(-5)*(-x)+(-5)*(-5)\\ =x^{2} +5x+5x+25\\ =x^{2} +10x+25 [/tex]

therefore

the answer is

the missing coefficient of the x-term is [tex] 10 [/tex]
