Question

Simplify the expression to a polynomial in standard form
(x−3)(2x^2 −5x−5)

Answer 1

Explanation:

To simplify the expression, we can use the distributive property of multiplication:

(x−3)(2x^2 −5x−5) = 2x^3 −5x^2 −5x −6x^2 +15x +15

Next, we can combine like terms:

2x^3 −5x^2 −6x^2 −5x +15x +15 = 2x^3 −11x^2 +10x +15

Therefore, the simplified polynomial in standard form is 2x^3 −11x^2 +10x +15.
