Multiplication of Polynomials

Question 16 • [INMT3] Integrated Math 3 Sem 1 (26-27)

What is the product of(p3)(2p2 - 4p)(3p2 - 1)?

Answer
A
6p7 + 4p4
B
6p7- 2p5 - 12p5 + 4p3
C
6p7 - 12p6 - 2p5 + 4p4
D
6p12 - 14p6 + 4p3

Explanation

Distribute the terms in the two parentheses, then multiply each result by p³: p³(6p⁴ − 2p² − 12p³ + 4p) = 6p⁷ − 2p⁵ − 12p⁶ + 4p⁴. Rearranging the terms gives 6p⁷ − 12p⁶ − 2p⁵ + 4p⁴, so the correct choice is C.
