Question

How do you multiply `5x(-2x^2+8x+12)`?

Answer 1

See a solution process below:

Explanation:

To multiply this expression, multiply each term within the parenthesis by the term outside the parenthesis:

`color(red)(5x)(-2x^2 + 8x + 12) =>`

`(color(red)(5x) xx -2x^2) + (color(red)(5x) xx 8x) + (color(red)(5x) xx 12) =>`

`-10x^3 + 40x^2 + 60x`
