Use Distributive Property: We are given the quadratic expression y=−9(x+1)(x+1). To expand this, we will use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials) to multiply the two binomials (x+1) and (x+1).
Multiply First Terms: First, we multiply the first terms of each binomial: x×x=x2.
Multiply Outer Terms: Next, we multiply the outer terms: x×1=x.
Multiply Inner Terms: Then, we multiply the inner terms: 1×x=x.
Multiply Last Terms: After that, we multiply the last terms of each binomial: 1×1=1.
Combine Like Terms: Now, we combine like terms: x2+x+x+1=x2+2x+1.
Multiply by −9: Finally, we multiply the entire expression by −9 to get the expanded form: y=−9(x2+2x+1) .
Distribute −9: Distribute the −9 to each term in the binomial: y=−9×x2+(−9)×2x+(−9)×1.
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication: y=−9x2−18x−9.
