Make Sense? In Exercises 135–138, determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. 135. Knowing the difference between factors and terms is important: In (3x?y)“, I can distribute the exponent 2 on each factor, but in (3x² + y)', I cannot do the same thing on each term. 136. I used the FOIL method to find the product of x + 5 and x + 2x + 1. 137. Instead of using the formula for the square of a binomial sum, I prefer to write the binomial sum twice and then apply the FOIL method. 138. Special-product formulas have patterns that make their multiplications quicker than using the FOIL method.
