Answer:
We can use the distributive property of multiplication to expand the given expression as follows:
(x - 8) (x - 3) (x + 9) = (x - 8) (x^2 + 6x - 27) [Using (a - b)(a + b) = a^2 - b^2]
= x(x^2 + 6x - 27) - 8(x^2 + 6x - 27) [Using distributive property]
= x^3 + 6x^2 - 27x - 8x^2 - 48x + 216 [Using distributive property]
= x^3 - 2x^2 - 75x + 216
Therefore, the answer is (B) x^2-2x-59
