Question

Multiply the polynomial by distribution. Show your work and explain the steps you used to solve.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$- 8x( {x}^{2} - 8x + 3) \\ = ( - 8x \times {x}^{2}) - ( - 8x \times 8x) + ( - 8x \times 3) \\ = - 8 {x}^{3} + 64 {x}^{2} - 24x$

distribute -8x to each term in the perenthesis i.e. multiply each term by -8x

Answer 2

Answer:

-8x^3 + 64x^2 - 24x

Step-by-step explanation:

To distribute, we must multiple -8x to each term:

-8x(x^2) - 8x(-8x) - 8x(3)

-8x^3 + 64x^2 - 24x
