3x2+4x−5
3 x squared plus 4 x minus 5

4x2+3x+5

Answer 1

The phrase "The product of 3 and a number squared, minus the product of four and that same number, plus 5" can be broken down as follows:

• "The product of 3 and a number squared" translates to \(3x^2\).
• "minus the product of four and that same number" translates to \(-4x\).
• "plus 5" is simply \(+5\).

Combining these parts, we get the expression:

\[ 3x^2 - 4x + 5 \]

So, the expression that is equivalent to the given phrase is:

3x² - 4x + 5.
