Multiply the following two binomials.

Question

1. (3x + 1)
2. (2x - 4)

Answer 1

To multiply the two binomials (3x + 1) and (2x - 4), we will use the distributive property.

First, we need to multiply each term in the first binomial by each term in the second binomial:

(3x) * (2x) + (3x) * (-4) + (1) * (2x) + (1) * (-4)

Next, simplify each product:

6x^2 - 12x + 2x - 4

Now, combine like terms to get the final expression:

6x^2 - 10x - 4

Therefore, the product of (3x + 1) and (2x - 4) is 6x^2 - 10x - 4.
