Expand the expression to a polynomial in standard form:
(3y + 1)(2y - 4)
Options
A
6y2 - 10y + 1
B
6y2 - 10y - 1
C
6y2 - 10y + 4
D
6y2 - 10y - 4
Answer & Analysis
Answer
D
Analysis
To expand the expression (3y + 1)(2y - 4), we can use the distributive property and multiply each term of the first expression by each term of the second expression:
(3y + 1)(2y - 4) = 3y * (2y - 4) + 1 * (2y - 4)
Expanding further:
= 6y2 - 12y + 2y - 4
