Question

Select the correct answer. Find the product. (P + 5)(2 - 2)

A) (p^2 + 3p - 10)

B) (p^2 - 10)

C) (p^2 + 7p - 10)

D) (p² - 32)

Answer 1

The product of the given expression (P + 5)(2 - 2) is actually 0, because anything multiplied by zero is zero. There seems to be a mistake in the given answer options, as none of them match this outcome.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this case, the expression to be simplified is (P + 5)(2 - 2). To find the product, we need to apply the distributive property also known as the FOIL method for binomial multiplication.

However, we can notice that one of the terms in the second binomial is 0 (since 2 - 2 equals 0).

Therefore, (P + 5)(2 - 2) simplifies to (P + 5)×0. When any number is multiplied by 0, the product is 0, so the correct answer is none of the given options as they do not include the answer 0.
