Question

How do you multiply `(x + 4)(x2 - 3x + 2)`?

Answer 1

Multiplying this would give us: `x^3+x^2-10x+8`

Explanation:

So you need to use the distributive property meaning that whatever is inside the first set of parentheses (`x+4`) must get multiplied by whatever is in the other set of parentheses.

`(x+4)(x^2-3x+2)`
`x^3-3x^2+2x+4x^2-12x+8` -Distribute and combine like term
`x^3+x^2-10x+8`
