Expand the expression to a polynomial in standard form:
(−3x + 2)(4x − 5)
Options
A
12x2 + 23x - 10
B
-12x2 - 23x - 10
C
-12x2 + 23x + 10
D
-12x2 + 23x - 10
Answer & Analysis
Answer
D
Analysis
To expand the expression (−3x + 2)(4x − 5), we can use the distributive property and multiply each term of the first expression by each term of the second expression:
(−3x + 2)(4x − 5) = -3x * (4x − 5) + 2 * (4x − 5)
Expanding further:
= -12x2 + 15x + 8x - 10
Combining like terms:
= -12x
