Question

Multiply and subtract these polynomials and simplify. Enter your response in standard form (2x3 - 3x + 11) – (3x2 + 1)(4 – 8x)

Answer 1

Answer:

= 26x3 − 12x2 + 5x + 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the FOIL method to multiply the two binomials. Then distribute the negative sign. Finally, order like terms from highest degree to lowest degree and combine.

(2x3 − 3x + 11) − (3x2 + 1)(4 − 8x)

= (2x3 − 3x + 11) − (12x2 − 24x3 + 4 − 8x)

= 2x3 − 3x + 11 − 12x2 + 24x3 − 4 + 8x

= 2x3 + 24x3 − 12x2 − 3x + 8x + 11 – 4

= 26x3 − 12x2 + 5x + 7
