(x-4)(x^2-3x+2)
what’s that equal
Answer:
[tex] x^3 - 7x^2 + 14x - 8 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To multiply two polynomials together, multiply every term of the first polynomial by every term of the second polynomial. Then combine like terms.
[tex] (x-4)(x^2-3x+2) = [/tex]
First, multiply x by every term of the trinominal. Then, multiply -4 by every term of the trinomial.
[tex] = x^3 - 3x^2 + 2x - 4x^2 + 12x - 8 [/tex]
Now combine like terms.
[tex] = x^3 - 7x^2 + 14x - 8 [/tex]
