Question 3 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

What is the product?(x − 3)(2x2 − 5x + 1)

Answer
A
2x3 − x2 + 16x + 3
B
2x3 − 11x2 + 16x + 3
C
2x3 − 11x2 + 16x − 3
D
2x3 − x2 + 16x − 3

Explanation

Distribute each term: x(2x² − 5x + 1) = 2x³ − 5x² + x, and −3(2x² − 5x + 1) = −6x² + 15x − 3. Combine like terms to get 2x³ − 11x² + 16x − 3, which is choice C.
