Consider the polynomial P(x) = x^4 - 3x^3 + 5x^2 - 7x + 9. Let its four roots be a, b, c, d. Evaluate the expression (a + b + c)(a + b + d)(a + c + d)(b + c + d).
+109 I know it's not the answer but I hope it will help you understand how to do this:
"To evaluate an algebraic expression, you have to substitute a number for each variable and perform the arithmetic operations. In the example above, the variable x is equal to 6 since 6 + 6 = 12. If we know the value of our variables, we can replace the variables with their values and then evaluate the expression."
The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you. ~Hannah🌹🌹🌹

Please don't answer questions when you do not have a clue
and please limit your social posts to maybe one a day. 
+109 Ok ok I'll stop answering question I dont have a clue about but I'm still going to be answering more than 1 problem a day
+118608 Consider the polynomial P(x) = x^4 - 3x^3 + 5x^2 - 7x + 9. Let its four roots be a, b, c, d.
Evaluate the expression (a + b + c)(a + b + d)(a + c + d)(b + c + d).
The sum of all the roots is 3/1 = 3
so the expression can be changed to
(3-d)(3-c)(3-b)(3-a)
now expand and then use Vieta's formulas to solve
