What is the product of (2x + 3) and (x - 4)?

  1. 2x^2 - 5x - 12

  2. 2x^2 + 5x - 12

  3. 2x^2 - 5x + 12

  4. 2x^2 + 5x + 12


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To multiply (2x + 3) and (x - 4), we use the distributive property. First, we multiply 2x by x and 2x by -4, which gives us 2x^2 and -8x. Then, we multiply 3 by x and 3 by -4, which gives us 3x and -12. Finally, we add the like terms to get 2x^2 - 5x - 12.

What is the product of (x^2 - 2x + 1) and (x + 3)?

  1. x^3 + x^2 - 5x + 3

  2. x^3 + x^2 - 5x - 3

  3. x^3 - x^2 - 5x + 3

  4. x^3 - x^2 - 5x - 3


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To multiply (x^2 - 2x + 1) and (x + 3), we use the distributive property. First, we multiply x^2 by x and x^2 by 3, which gives us x^3 and 3x^2. Then, we multiply -2x by x and -2x by 3, which gives us -2x^2 and -6x. Finally, we multiply 1 by x and 1 by 3, which gives us x and 3. We then add the like terms to get x^3 + x^2 - 5x + 3.

  4. 6x^3y^2 + 10x^2y^2 + 11xy + 12y


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

To multiply (3x^2y - 2xy + 4) and (2x - 3y), we use the distributive property. First, we multiply 3x^2y by 2x and 3x^2y by -3y, which gives us 6x^3y^2 and -9x^2y^2. Then, we multiply -2xy by 2x and -2xy by -3y, which gives us -4x^2y and 6xy. Finally, we multiply 4 by 2x and 4 by -3y, which gives us 8x and -12y. We then add the like terms to get 6x^3y^2 - 10x^2y^2 + 11xy - 12y.
