Answer:
Four
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's expand and see how many nonzero terms:
⇒ (x+4)(2x²+3x+9)-3(x³-2x²+7x)=
⇒ 2x³ + 3x² + 9x + 8x² + 12 + 36 - 3x³ + 6 x² - 21 x=
⇒ - x³ + 17x² - 12x + 12
As we see the expression has four nonzero terms
If you put in the substitutions it would be 2*2-(2*2*4)+(3*2)-(-4*2)+(2*4).
Simplified further by multiplying it would be 2*2-8+6--8+8
the negative 8 could be simplified further since the negatives cancel out so you'll have 2*2-8+6+8+8.
Then using the order of operations you would multiply the 2's together first to get 4 so you have 4-8+6+8+8.
After that it's simple addition giving you an answer of -26.
I'm not sure if you're looking for the final answer or just the equation with substitutions but there's both.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
If you multiply it out it looks like
7/1 times 1/8
multiply across (7 times 1 / 1 times 8)
gives you 7/8
