(–x – 5)2 = x2 + x + 25

Verified Answer :

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.

calculista

we have

\((-x-5)^{2}\)

we know that

\((-x-5)^{2}=(-x-5)*(-x-5)\)

To multiply two binomial I can use the FOIL method

\((-x-5)*(-x-5) =(-x)*(-x)+(-x)*(-5)+(-5)*(-x)+(-5)*(-5)\\ =x^{2} +5x+5x+25\\ =x^{2} +10x+25\)

therefore

the answer is

the missing coefficient of the x-term is \(10\)
