Find the product of the polynomials (2x+1)(x-4)

Answer 1

To find the product of the polynomials, we can use the distributive property.

(2x+1)(x-4) = 2x(x-4) + 1(x-4)

Using the distributive property, we can multiply each term individually.

= 2x^2 - 8x + x - 4

Combining like terms, we get:

= 2x^2 - 7x - 4

Therefore, the product of the polynomials (2x+1)(x-4) is 2x^2 - 7x - 4.
