(x + 8)(x - 2) = x(x) + x(-2) + 8(x) + 8(-2) = x^2 - 2x + 8x - 16 = x^2 + 6x - 16

Apologies for the incorrect response. Here's the correct way to apply the distributive property:
(x + 8)(x - 2) = x(x) - x(2) + 8(x) - 8(2) = x^2 - 2x + 8x - 16 = x^2 + 6x - 16
(x + 8)(x - 2) = x(x) - x(2) + 8(x) - 8(2) = x^2 - 2x + 8x - 16 = x^2 + 6x - 16

Apologies for the confusion. Let's correctly apply the distributive property:
(x + 8)(x - 2) can be rewritten as x(x) + x(-2) + 8(x) + 8(-2).
This simplifies to x^2 - 2x + 8x - 16.
Combining like terms further simplifies it to x^2 + 6x - 16.
So, the correct polynomial after applying the distributive property is x^2 + 6x - 16.
