To find the expression that is equivalent to \(4x^3 + 8x^2 + 12x\) using the Distributive Property, let's factor out the common factor.

  1. Identify the common factor in the expression: \[ 4x^3 + 8x^2 + 12x \] The common factor here is \(4x\).

  2. Factor out \(4x\): \[ 4x(x^2 + 2x + 3) \]

  3. Now we look for an answer choice that matches \(4x(x^2 + 2x + 3)\).

The expression \(4x(x^2 + 2x + 3)\) corresponds directly with the option:

  • \(4x(x^2 + 2x + 3)\)

Thus, the correct answer is: 4x(x^2 + 2x + 3).

(x+6)(x−4)

To determine which expression simplifies to \(4x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x - 24\), we first simplify the provided expression:

  1. Combine like terms in \(4x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x - 24\): \[ (4x^2 - 3x^2) + 5x - 24 = 1x^2 + 5x - 24 = x^2 + 5x - 24. \]

Next, we need to factor \(x^2 + 5x - 24\) and check if any of the provided options are equivalent to this expression.

To factor \(x^2 + 5x - 24\), we look for two numbers that multiply to \(-24\) and add to \(5\). The numbers \(8\) and \(-3\) work because: \[ 8 \times (-3) = -24 \quad \text{and} \quad 8 + (-3) = 5. \]

Thus, we can factor the expression: \[ x^2 + 5x - 24 = (x + 8)(x - 3). \]

Now, let’s compare our factorization to the provided options. The correct matching expression is:

  • \((x + 8)(x - 3)\).

Therefore, the expression that simplifies to the same expression as \(4x^2 - 3x^2 + 5x - 24\) is: (x + 8)(x - 3).

9z2−11z+8
9 z squared minus 11 z plus 8

4z2−z+8
4 z squared minus z plus 8

4z2−6z+8
4 z squared minus 6 z plus 8

11z2+z−2

To add the polynomial expressions \(5z - 2z^2 - 4z + 5\) and \(6z^2 + 3 - 7z\), we will combine like terms step by step.

  1. First, let's rewrite each expression and then add them together:

    First expression: \[ 5z - 2z^2 - 4z + 5 \]

    Combine the like terms \(5z\) and \(-4z\): \[ = -2z^2 + (5z - 4z) + 5 = -2z^2 + 1z + 5 \]

    So the first expression simplifies to: \[ -2z^2 + z + 5 \]

    Second expression: \[ 6z^2 + 3 - 7z \]

    Rearranging gives us: \[ 6z^2 - 7z + 3 \]

  2. Now, we can add both simplified expressions together: \[ (-2z^2 + z + 5) + (6z^2 - 7z + 3) \]

    Combine like terms:

    • For \(z^2\) terms: \(-2z^2 + 6z^2 = 4z^2\)
    • For \(z\) terms: \(1z - 7z = -6z\)
    • For constant terms: \(5 + 3 = 8\)

    So the combined expression becomes: \[ 4z^2 - 6z + 8 \]

Now let's identify the correct option: 4z² - 6z + 8
This is the answer!

Therefore, the answer is: 4z² - 6z + 8.

7 x squared plus 5 x plus 2

12x2+2
12 x squared plus 2

9x2+17x+13−2x2−12x−11

To simplify the expression \((9x^2 + 17x + 13) - (2x^2 + 12x + 11)\), we will first distribute the negative sign in front of the second polynomial, and then combine like terms.

  1. Start with the expression: \[ (9x^2 + 17x + 13) - (2x^2 + 12x + 11) \]

  2. Distributing the negative sign: \[ 9x^2 + 17x + 13 - 2x^2 - 12x - 11 \]

  3. Now, combine the like terms:

    • For \(x^2\) terms: \[ 9x^2 - 2x^2 = 7x^2 \]
    • For \(x\) terms: \[ 17x - 12x = 5x \]
    • For constant terms: \[ 13 - 11 = 2 \]

Putting it all together, we have: \[ 7x^2 + 5x + 2 \]

Now, let's check the response options:

  • 7x² + 29x + 24
  • 7x² + 5x + 2 (This is correct!)
  • 12x² + 2
  • 9x² + 17x + 13 − 2x² − 12x − 11 (This is the expression written out again but not simplified.)

Therefore, the correct choice is: 7x² + 5x + 2.

Multiply the polynomials (3x−1)(2x+4)
.(2 points)
x2+
x+

To multiply the polynomials \((3x - 1)(2x + 4)\), we can use the distributive property (often referred to as the FOIL method for binomials).

  1. First, multiply the first terms:
    \[ 3x \cdot 2x = 6x^2 \]

  2. Next, multiply the outer terms:
    \[ 3x \cdot 4 = 12x \]

  3. Then, multiply the inner terms:
    \[ -1 \cdot 2x = -2x \]

  4. Finally, multiply the last terms:
    \[ -1 \cdot 4 = -4 \]

Now, combine all these results: \[ 6x^2 + 12x - 2x - 4 \]

Combine like terms: \[ 6x^2 + (12x - 2x) - 4 = 6x^2 + 10x - 4 \]

So the final result is: \[ 6x^2 + 10x - 4 \]

Thus, you can fill in the blanks as follows: \[ x^2 + 10x - 4 \]

So:

  • \( x^2 = 6x^2 \) (which you will note as "6").
  • \( x = 10 \).
  • The constant is \(-4\).

Final answer:

  • \(6x^2 + 10x - 4\) (with individual values being filled as described above).
Which of the following responses shows that polynomials form a closed system under multiplication?(1 point)

To show that polynomials form a closed system under multiplication, we need to demonstrate that the product of any two polynomial expressions is also a polynomial.

Let’s evaluate each of the listed responses:

  1. \(14x^3 \cdot 5\)

    • This is the multiplication of a polynomial \(14x^3\) (with degree 3) and a constant \(5\). The result will be \(70x^3\), which is a polynomial.
  2. \(\frac{3x^2}{4} - 1\)

    • This expression is a polynomial (specifically, a rational polynomial). However, it does not demonstrate multiplication.
  3. \((x)(\frac{1}{2} x)\)

    • This is the multiplication of two polynomials: \(x\) and \(\frac{1}{2} x\), which yields \(\frac{1}{2} x^2\), a polynomial.
  4. \((\sqrt{x})(6x \cdot -3)\)

    • The term \(\sqrt{x}\) is not a polynomial, since polynomials only include non-negative integer exponents. Thus, this expression does not demonstrate closure.

The first three responses contain polynomial expressions, and their products result in a polynomial. However, the best response demonstrating that polynomials form a closed system under multiplication is:

\(14x^3 \cdot 5\), because it clearly shows two polynomial terms being multiplied and producing another polynomial result.

Answer: 14x³ ⋅ 5 (which yields \(70x^3\), a polynomial).
