What is the product of 3a + 5 and 2a2 + 4a – 2?

Answer
A
6a3 + 22a2 + 14a – 10
B
6a3 + 22a2 + 26a –10
C
18a3 + 10a2 + 14a – 10
D
28a3 + 14a – 10

Explanation

Distribute each term in 3a + 5 across 2a² + 4a − 2. This gives 6a³ + 12a² − 6a + 10a² + 20a − 10. Combine like terms to get 6a³ + 22a² + 14a − 10, which is choice A.
