Question 6 of 10

Which expression is equivalent to (x2-3x)(4x²+2x-9)?
O A. x²(4x²+2x) - 3x(2x - 9)
O B. x²(4x²+2x-9) - 3x
OC. x²(4x²+2x-9) - 3x(4x²+2x-9)
O D. x²(4x²+2x-9) + 3x(4x²+2x-9)

Answer 1

The expression (x²-3x)(4x²+2x-9) can be simplified using the distributive property.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression (x²-3x)(4x²+2x-9) can be simplified using the distributive property of multiplication. To expand this expression, we multiply each term in the first expression by each term in the second expression and then combine like terms.

Using the distributive property, the equivalent expression can be given as x²(4x²+2x-9) - 3x(4x²+2x-9).

This can further be simplified to x²(4x²+2x) - 3x(2x - 9), which is equivalent to option A.
