Question

Which expression shows the correct multiplication of the following polynomilas? 3x(6x^2-3x+7)

Answer 1

Answer: 18x^3-9x^2+21x

Solution:

3x(6x^2-3x+7)=

Applying the distributive property in the multiplication to eliminate the parentheses:

(3x)(6x^2)+(3x)(-3x)+(3x)(7)=

(3*6)x^(1+2)+3*(-3)x^(1+1)+(3*7)x=

18x^3-9x^2+21x
