Question

Multiply the polynomials (x + 6)(2x - 2). What is the product in the form ax2 + bx +c?

Answer 1

Answer:

x² + 10x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(2x - 2) + 6(2x - 2) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 2x² - 2x + 12x - 12 ← collect like terms

= 2x² + 10x - 12
