Multiply straight across and then just simply your answer. I divided by 2.
Answer: 20x^3 - 23x^2 - 4x + 4
Explanation:
Use distributive property:
(5x-2)(4x^2 - 3x-2)
= 20x^3 - 15x^2 - 10x - 8x^2 + 6x + 4
= 20x^3 - 23x^2 - 4x + 4
-24a²- 6a +9 = - 3(8a² +6a - 9)
8a² +6a - 9 =0
x=(-b +/-√(b² - 4ac))/2a
x = (-6 +/-√(36+4*8*9) /(2*8) = (-6 +/-√(324) /16 = (-6 +/-18)/16
x1 = (-6 +18)/16 = 0.75
x2 = (-6 -18)/16 = - 1.5
-24a²- 6a +9 = - 3(8a² +6a - 9) = -3(a - 0.75)(a + 1.5)
