Question

What is the product of (3x-9) and 6x↑2-2x+5 Write your answer in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

a. $18x^3 -60x^2 + 33x - 45$

b. No

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

(3x-9) and $6x^2-2x+5$

=> the production of them is:

$(3x-9)(6x^2-2x+5)$ , we will use distributive law to solve this To do that. we first multiply  $6x^2-2x+5$ by 3x then by -9. This is done as follows

= $3x (6x^2-2x+5) - 9(6x^2-2x+5)$  $= (3x * 6x^2-3x * 2x+3x *5) - (9* 6x^2-9* 2x+9* 5)\\\\= (18x^3 -6x^2+ 15x) - (54x^2 - 18x +45)$

Then Open both brackets

= $18x^3 -6x^2+ 15x -54x^2 + 18x -45$

After that, we group the same terms

= $18x^3 -(6x^2 +54x^2)+ (15x + 18x) -45$

= $18x^3 -60x^2 + 33x - 45$

(b) Is the product of (3x-9) and  $6x^2-2x+5$  equal to the product of (9x-3) and $6x^2-2x+5$

No, let find the product of (9x-3) and $6x^2-2x+5$ , we will use distributive law to solve this as the above example.

= (9x-3)$(6x^2-2x+5)$

= $9x (6x^2-2x+5) - 3(6x^2-2x+5)$

=$(9x * 6x^2 - 9x * 2x + 9x *5) - (3* 6x^2 - 3 * 2x + 3* 5)$

= $(54x^3 - 18x^2+ 45x) - (18x^2 - 6x +15)$

After that, we open the bracket to find the same terms

= $54x^3 - 18x^2+ 45x -18x^2 + 6x -15$

= $54x^3 - 18x^2 -18x^2 + 45x + 6x -15$

= $54x^3 - 36x^2 + 51x -15$  

As you can see $54x^3 - 36x^2 + 51x -15$   ≠$18x^3 -60x^2 + 33x - 45$

Hope it will find you well.
