Question

What is the product?

Answer 1

Answer:

$2{x}^{2} + 7x - 4$

Step-by-step explanation:

F [First terms] - Multiply the first terms in each set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT

O [Outside terms] - Multiply the first term in the first set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT by the last term in the second set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT

I [Inside terms] - Multiply the last term in the first set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT by the first term in the second set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE LEFT

L [Last terms] - Multiply the last terms in each set of parentheses FARTHEST TO THE RIGHT

$(2x - 1)(x + 4) = 2{x}^{2} + 8x - x - 4 = 2{x}^{2} + 7x - 4$
