Question

To multiply a monomial by a polynomial, use the (Associative or Distributive) Property. Using this property, the product of (2k^2-7k+3) and 4 is

a. 8k^2-28k+12
b .8k^3-28k^2+12k
c. 8k^4-28k^3+12k^2

Answer 1

I'd do this in reverse order. Mult. each of the 3 terms inside parentheses by 4:

8k^2 - 28k + 12
