Write the product as a trinomial.

(m + 2) (m - 7)

A: m2 - 14

B: m2 + 5m - 14

C: m2 - 5m + 14

D: m2 - 5m - 14

D. m2 - 5 - 14

you foil it out

First: muliply the two m's to get m2

Inside: muliply the first m with the - 7 to get - 7m

Outside: multiply the 2 and the second m to get + 2m

Last: multiply the 2 and the - 7 to get - 14

then: add the - 7 and the + 2 to get - 5

(m2 - 5 - 14)
