multiply the polynomials using the distributive property and combine like terms (-2x-2) (9x+1)

1 answer

To multiply the polynomials using the distributive property, you will need to distribute each term of the first polynomial to each term of the second polynomial.

Let's start with the -2x term from the first polynomial:
-2x * (9x + 1) = -18x^2 - 2x

Now, let's move on to the -2 term from the first polynomial:
-2 * (9x + 1) = -18x - 2

Now, let's combine the two results we got:
(-18x^2 - 2x) + (-18x - 2) = -18x^2 - 20x - 2

Therefore, the result of multiplying the polynomials (-2x - 2) and (9x + 1) using the distributive property and combining like terms is -18x^2 - 20x - 2.
