Question

What is the product? (-2x -9y^2) (-4x -3)

Answer 1

Your product would be:

8x^2+6x+36xy^2+27y^2

Answer 2

`8x^2+6x+36xy^2+27y^2`

Explanation:

Given expression,

`(-2x -9y^2)(-4x -3)`

By associative property,

`=-2x(-4x -3)-9y^2(-4x -3)`

Again by associative property,

`=-2x(-4x)-2x(-3)-9y^2(-4x)-9y^2(-3)`

`=8x^2+6x+36xy^2+27y^2`

Hence,

`(-2x -9y^2)(-4x -3)=8x^2+6x+36xy^2+27y^2`
