Answer:

  a.  6x^3 - 24x^2 + 6x + 36

Step-by-step explanation:

These are expanded using the distributive property, which is also used for collecting terms.

  (2x - 6)(3x2 - 3x - 6) = 2x(3x^2 - 3x - 6) - 6(3x^2 - 3x - 6)

  = 6x^3 -6x^2 -12x -18x^2 +18x +36

  = 6x^3 +(-6-18)x^2 +(-12 +18)x +36

  = 6x^3 -24x^2 +6x +36 . . . . . . matches selection A

<em>Comment on strategy</em>

For multiple-choice questions, it often works well to find a way to identify a viable answer with the minimum amount of work. Comparing these answer choices, you can see that determining the correct values of the x-term and the constant term will let you pick the right choice.

The constant term is easy, because it is simply the product of the constants (-6)(-6) = 36. This narrows the choices to A and C.

The x-term will be the sum of products of x-terms and constants:

  2x(-6) +(-6)(-3x) = -6(2x-3x) = -6(-x) = 6x

This narrows the choices to A alone.

Which description is correct for the polynomial 2x² + 2?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

The polynomial is a quadratic binomial

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

2x^{2}+2

Classify the polynomial

<u>By the number of terms</u>

we know that

A polynomial with two terms is a binomial

<u>By the Degree of a Polynomial</u>

we know that

The degree of a polynomial is calculated by finding the largest exponent in the polynomial

In the given problem the largest exponent is 2

so

Is a quadratic equation

therefore

The polynomial is a quadratic binomial

Please help me with this
Vikki [24]

Step-by-step explanation:

the only reason you would need help with this is, if you don't understand what exponents are and how they work.

because once you understand that, you can do the whole question in 30 seconds yourself. way faster than the posting here and then copying answers back into your system.

so, let me explain this important element :

when you have something like 5³, then this 3 is the exponent, and the 5 is the base.

when we talk about such a thing we typically say "5 to the power of 3".

now what did it mean ?

well, it is a multiplication. a multiplication of the base by itself (like when we square a number).

and the exponent tells is how often the base is multiplied by itself.

so, back to my example :

5³ = 5×5×5

3² = 3×3

13⁴ = 13×13×13×13

once you understand that, you can solve the question yourself in seconds.

e.g. the first is looking for the equivalent of 7⁴.

we need to find the answer option that dissolves this like the examples above to 7×7×7×7.

and we find B to be the right answer.

for 3⁶ = 3×3×3×3×3×3

and E is right. and so on.
