(x-12)(x^2 – 2x + 16)
OpenStudy (strawberry17):
You multiply x and -12 by each term in the second parentheses. Then combine like terms :)
OpenStudy (strawberry17):
Do you know how to do that?

Okay idk if i did this right but so far I got...
12x^2 - 24x + 192
OpenStudy (strawberry17):
You have some figures correct...
when you multiply x by x^2 you will get x^3. Then you multiply x by -2x and 16.
Then you will multiply -12 by x^2, -2x, and 16.
Then combine like terms.

okay
OpenStudy (strawberry17):
Let me know when you get it :)

x • x^2 = x^3
x • -2x = -2x^2
x • 16 = 16x
-12 • x^2 = -12x^2
-12 • -2x = 24x
-12 • 16 = -192
Then combine like terms :)

x^3 - 2x^2 - 12x^2 + 16x + 24x - 192

thanks for writing it out like that (im more of a visual learner) lol
