Chapter 0.2, Problem 2E

To determine

the product.

Answer to Problem 2E

  $\left(v-7\right)\left(v-1\right)=v^2-8v+7$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $\left(v-7\right)\left(v-1\right)$

It is given that $\left(v-7\right)\left(v-1\right)$

So,

  $\begin{array}{c}\left(v-7\right)\left(v-1\right)=v\left(v-1\right)-7\left(v-1\right)\\ v\left(v-1\right)-7\left(v-1\right)=v^2-v-7v+7\\ v^2-v-7v+7=v^2-8v+7\end{array}$

So,

  $\left(v-7\right)\left(v-1\right)=v^2-8v+7$
