Hey there! :)

Answer:

C.
16x^(4)+ 16x^(3) - 12x^(2) - 32x-16

Explanation:

Starting with:

(8x² - 4x - 8)(2x² + 3x + 2)

Begin multiplying the first equation by each of the second equation's terms:

2x²(8x² - 4x - 8) + 3x(8x² - 4x - 8) + 2(8x² -4x - 8)

Distribute:


16x^(4)- 8x^(3)- 16x^(2) + 24x^(3) - 12x^(2) - 24x + 16x^(2) - 8x -16

Simplify by combining like terms:


16x^(4)+ 16x^(3) - 12x^(2) - 32x-16

Therefore, the correct answer is C.
