Answer:
B
Step-by-step explanation:
the product (2x² - 3x - 8)(3x² + 5x + 1) is required
multiply each term in the second factor by each term in the first factor.
= 2x²(3x² + 5x + 1) - 3x(3x² + 5x + 1) - 8(3x² + 5x + 1) ← distribute
= 6 + 10x³ + 2x² - 9x³ - 15x² - 3x - 24x² - 40x - 8
collecting like terms gives
6 + x³ - 37x² - 43x - 8 → B
