To find an expression equivalent to 4x3+8x2+12x using the Distributive Property, we can factor out the greatest common factor from all the terms in the expression.

The terms in the expression are 4x3, 8x2, and 12x. The greatest common factor is 4x.

Now, we can factor out 4x:

4x3+8x2+12x=4x(x2+2x+3)

Now that we have factored the original expression, we can check which of the given responses matches this.

The correct response from the options provided is:

4x(x² + 2x + 3).

So, the answer is:

4x(x² + 2x + 3).

Which of the following simplifies to the same expression as 4x2−3x2+5x−24

(x+8)(x−3)
left parenthesis x plus 8 right parenthesis left parenthesis x minus 3 right parenthesis

4x(x−6)
4 x left parenthesis x minus 6 right parenthesis

2(x−12)
2 left parenthesis x minus 12 right parenthesis

(x+6)(x−4)

Let's first simplify the expression 4x23x2+5x24.

  1. Combine like terms for the x2 terms: 4x23x2=1x2orx2

  2. The expression now looks like: x2+5x24

Next, we can factor x2+5x24. We need to find two numbers that multiply to 24 (the constant term) and add to 5 (the coefficient of x).

The numbers 8 and 3 satisfy these conditions:

  • 8×3=24
  • 8+(3)=5

Therefore, we can factor the expression as: (x+8)(x3)

Now, let’s check which of the provided responses matches this factorization:

  1. (x + 8)(x - 3) — This matches our factorization.
  2. 4x(x - 6) — This does not match.
  3. 2(x - 12) — This does not match.
  4. (x + 6)(x - 4) — This does not match.

The expression 4x23x2+5x24 simplifies to (x+8)(x3).

So, the answer is: (x + 8)(x - 3).

Question
Add the polynomial expressions 5z−2z2−4z+5
and 6z2+3−7z
.(1 point)
Responses

4z2−6z+8
4 z squared minus 6 z plus 8

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

4z2−z+8
4 z squared minus z plus 8

11z2+z−2

To add the polynomial expressions 5z2z24z+5 and 6z2+37z, we will first combine the terms from both expressions.

  1. Start by rewriting both expressions:

    • The first expression: 5z2z24z+5
    • The second expression: 6z2+37z
  2. Combine like terms from the first expression: 5z4z=1zso the first expression simplifies to2z2+z+5

  3. Now, rewrite the first expression with combined terms: 2z2+z+5

  4. Now add the second expression: 2z2+z+5+6z2+37z

  5. Combine like terms:

    • For z2 terms: 2z2+6z2=4z2
    • For z terms: z7z=6z
    • For the constant terms: 5+3=8
  6. Putting it all together: 4z26z+8

Now, we can look at your response choices:

  • 4z² - 6z + 8 — This matches our calculation.
  • 9z² - 11z + 8 — This does not match.
  • 4z² - z + 8 — This does not match.
  • 11z² + z - 2 — This does not match.

Thus, the answer is: 4z² - 6z + 8.

Which of the following correctly simplifies (9x2+17x+13)−(2x2+12x+11)

Responses

7x2+29x+24
7 x squared plus 29 x plus 24

7x2+5x+2
7 x squared plus 5 x plus 2

9x2+17x+13−2x2−12x−11
9 x squared plus 17 x plus 13 minus 2 x squared minus 12 x minus 11

12x2+2

To simplify the expression (9x2+17x+13)(2x2+12x+11), we need to distribute the negative sign across the second polynomial and then combine like terms.

  1. Start with the given expression: (9x2+17x+13)(2x2+12x+11)

  2. Distributing the negative sign to the second polynomial: 9x2+17x+132x212x11

  3. Now, combine like terms:

    • For the x2 terms: 9x22x2=7x2
    • For the x terms: 17x12x=5x
    • For the constant terms: 1311=2
  4. Putting it all together, we have: 7x2+5x+2

Now, let's check the responses:

  • 7x² + 29x + 24 — This does not match.
  • 7x² + 5x + 2 — This matches our calculation.
  • 9x² + 17x + 13 - 2x² - 12x - 11 — This represents the same expression but is not simplified.
  • 12x² + 2 — This does not match.

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

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

To multiply the polynomials (3x1)(2x+4), we can use the distributive property (also known as the FOIL method for binomials).

  1. First: Multiply the first terms in each binomial: 3x2x=6x2

  2. Outer: Multiply the outer terms: 3x4=12x

  3. Inner: Multiply the inner terms: 12x=2x

  4. Last: Multiply the last terms: 14=4

Now, combine all the results: 6x2+12x2x4

Combine like terms: 6x2+(12x2x)4=6x2+10x4

Now, we can write the final result as: 6x2+10x4

So to fill in the blanks:

  • x2+10x4

Final answer: 6x2+10x4

(Note: Since the formatting of the answer requested specifically "x^2 +", it seems you might want components separated, so it would fit as x2+10x4 accordingly).

Which of the following responses shows that polynomials form a closed system under multiplication?(1 point)
Responses

(x)(12x)
left parenthesis x right parenthesis left parenthesis Start Fraction 1 over 2 End Fraction x right parenthesis

(x−−√)(6x ⋅−3 )
open paren square root of x close paren times open paren 6 x times negative 3 close paren

3x24−1
Start Fraction 3 x squared over 4 minus 1 End Fraction

14x3⋅5

To determine which of the given responses demonstrates that polynomials form a closed system under multiplication, we need to find an expression where the product of two polynomial expressions is also a polynomial.

Analyzing each option:

  1. (x)(12x):

    • The multiplication of x (a polynomial of degree 1) and 12x (a polynomial of degree 1) results in 12x2, which is also a polynomial.
    • This shows closure under multiplication.
  2. (x)(6x3):

    • x is not a polynomial (it is a root) so this expression does not qualify as a polynomial multiplication and doesn't demonstrate closure under multiplication of polynomials.
  3. 3x241:

    • This is a polynomial expression itself, but it is not a multiplication of two polynomials, so it does not demonstrate the closure property.
  4. 14x35:

    • This multiplication results in 70x3, which is a polynomial. However, because one of the factors is a constant (which is technically a polynomial of degree 0), this also shows closure.

Conclusion: Both options 1 and 4 demonstrate closure under multiplication of polynomials, but option 1 ((x)(12x)) is more straightforward as it consists purely of polynomials.

Thus, the response that clearly shows that polynomials form a closed system under multiplication is: (x)(12x).
