A.
P(x) = 2x2 + 102x + 1,288
B.
P(x) = 2x2 + 28x - 414
C.
P(x) = 2x2 + 74x + 644
D.
P(x) = 2x2 + 110x + 1,472

Answer 1

C. Is correct hope you pass, hope this helps

Answer 2

P(x) = 2x² + 74x + 644

Explanation:

The first number is x + 23.

The second number is:

2(x + 23) − 18

2x + 46 − 18

2x + 28

The product is:

P(x) = (x + 23) (2x + 28)

P(x) = 2x² + 28x + 46x + 644

P(x) = 2x² + 74x + 644
