Hello there!
(5x - 2)(4x² - 3x - 2)
Use the distributive property
=(5x)(4x²) + (5x)(-3x) + (5x)(-2) + (-2)(4x²) + (-2)(-3x)² + (-2)(-2)
= 20x³ - 15x² - 10x - 8x² + 6x + 4
= 20x³ - 23x² -4x + 4
As always, it is my pleasure to help students like you. Let me know if you have any questions.

Since they are both squared.
Evaluating 5^2 and 2^2 and finding the quotient also works.

The third option, "Evaluate 5^2 and 2^2 ...," and the last option, "Rewrite the expression as (5/2)^2 ...," are the correct choices.
Well if you combine the 3x and the other x it'll be perfect.
hope this helped you sweetie :)
The hypotenuse would be square root of 41
