Answer:
15x³ + 26x² - 3x + 42
Explanation:
Hi there!
We are given the polynomials 3x+7 and 5x²-3x+6
We want to multiply them together
(3x+7)(5x²-3x+6)
To that, we need to distribute each term of the binomials to each other, and then add them together.
What this means is that we need to multiply 3x by 5x², -3x, and 6, then add them together. Then, multiply 7 by 5x², -3x, and 6. Add those together, and then add everything together.
So, let's first start by multiplying 3x by everything:
3x * 5x² = 15x³
3x * -3x = -9x²
3x * 6 = 18x
Add them together: 15x³ + -9x² + 18x
Now with 7:
7 * 5x² = 35x²
7 * -3x = -21x
7 * 6 = 42
Add them together: 35x² + -21x + 42
Now add 15x³ + -9x² + 18x and 35x² + -21x + 42 together:
15x³ + -9x² + 18x + 35x² + -21x + 42
Combine like terms:
15x³ + 26x² - 3x + 42
Hope this helps!
